While I am aware that Strudl has three different error Estimating Methods, I mostly relied on changing mesh size to test for convergence or near convergence of the solution – obviously this approach could be time consuming. I would rather use Error Estimate approach, if interpretation of the...
rapt,
I agree with you on the modeling issue. And thanks for your comment on long term deflection. It is true and that is something I will be looking at carefully.
I am attempting to model a suspended floor slab with edge supportes provided by walls, and also supported at mid spans with beams running on each direction. With out the beams the floor slab can be analyzed as the plate structure and I am facing no problem with that. FE software I am using is...
