H3D visualization damaged

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

 

I had chosen a thick shell element to model a structure . When I observe the h3d File it is like an corrupted view. I don't know what does such a view indicate. Could you explain me?

 

 

yours sincerely,

I do see elements getting distorted in HyperView.I guess it should be modelling issue or while preprocessing you may have change element formulation. Moving your query to Radioss forum for further feedback on output.

Hi Kartik,

I think this distortion is because of this thick shell property. 

Thick-plate formulation tends to be more accurate, though slightly stiffer. However, the accuracy of thick-plate formulation is sensitive to mesh distortion.
