Number of integration points for CQUAD4/CQUAD8 elements
Hello everybody,
if someone could please help me with this topic about the integration points in shell elements.
I found in the "HELP" that CQUAD4 has 5 integration points. For CQUAD8 I couldn´t find anything.
I would like to know how many integrations points have the shell elements CQUAD4/CQUAD8 and how many integration points have they
through the thickness in OptiStruct solver?
Where could I see/find this infos?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Mario

open HyperWorks Help Home page, then type CQUAD8 into the search box. It should be there:
On the CQUAD8 page I found a link to "Two-dimensional Shell Elements" which may provide more info:
