Hi all,

is there an easy way to generate 1D elements of every edges of a lot of shell elements? Similar to the free edge tool, but all edges not only the free edges. 

e.g. Four 1D Elements around a Quad4.

 

best regards and thank you for your help

Arne

    Hi All,

    I found a solution by myself. It was easier than I thought. 

     

    1. Detach all shell elements

    2. find Edges of this elements

    3. equivalence of all nodes

    voilà!

     

    Perhaps it is usefull for somebody.

    Best regards,

    Arne
