re: thread824-202904
Hello-
two quick concerns I have: 1) rotational dof incompatability b/t hexes (have 123 only rot. dof) and quads (1-5, no 6)creating problems?--does this approach necessitate an RSSCON? 2) no thru thickness stress for the
quads which approximate the honeycomb facesheet. this would not be the case,e specially if there is bending in the panel-I've seen substantial out-of-plane facesheet stress when using hexes for each lamina.
