Dear all, 

I am doing UNDEX simulation . In one of case I am using structure (Plate) as a solid element with following properties

and in other UNDEX simulation, I am using shell element with following properties,

but while comparing results it is observed that the deflection results from both the analysis (solid vs shell ) are different. The both results should show same deflection.

If anybody knows exact shell or solid properties to be use ,kindly provide valuable comments .

 

Thanking you

    Hi,

     

    Can you provide some more information on boundary conditions and loading or may be you can share the model used for analysis.

     

    Thank you
