All,
I have modelled using shell elements s4 a simply supported beam that has acting on it a uniform pressure load of 5N/mm2.
The dimensions of the beam are 10 mm with, 10 mm thick, and 100 mm long.
I am confused about the outcome of the stresses at the integration point of the elements. I attached a plot where I compared the integration point stresses, nodal stresses and hand-calculated stresses.
Does anyone understand the shape of the plot?
Thanks.
