what is the difference between shell method or beam method.what are their advantages.
Hi Sanjeet,
Both of these methods can be used for roll cage modelling. Since shell elements has more range of deformations than beam elements, modelling with shell will be more accurate.
I recommend you to go through http://www.altairuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/meshing.pdf , which is a document on meshing and it contains all the basics on meshing and I hope this will be useful for you.
