Does "INISTRS" works for set of membrane elements?

Hello,

I am working on "INISTRS" to map initial stress from *.h3d file of the previous run. It works very well with set of PSHELL elements. However, it does not work with set of membrane elements, very thin element like 10e-5 mm. In my understanding, the membrane element is a kind of PSHELL element, so it should work the same. I am wondering if this is a limitation on Hypermesh or not.

P.S. My model consist of PSOLID + membrane elements that are wrapping PSOLID as external layer.

Best Regards,

Ariya

    Hi Ariya,

    While defining membrane element have made MID2 and MID3 as blank?

    Please try out and let us know if this helps.

    Thanks
