Plane axisymmetric elements
Hello,
I'd like to perform a plane analysis of a rotor component. Usually in ansys I used to use Plane182 elements.
PLANE182 is used for 2-D modeling of solid structures. The element can be used either as a plane element (plane stress or plane strain) or as an axisymmetric element. The element is defined by four nodes having two degrees of freedom at each node: translations in the nodal x and y directions. The element has plasticity, stress stiffening, large deflection, and large strain capabilities.
Is there any corresponding element type for Optistruct? I tried to find it in the user help and tutorials but I wasn't successfull. I'd appreciate your help.
Best regards
Jakub
