Membrane elements
Dear users,
I am running a modal analysis in Optistruct for a simple 2D plate in order to validate some Matlab scripts.
I use CQUAD4 elements (PSHELL 2D property) in HM.
Results from OS are consistent if I compare them with a 6-DOF per node element in Matlab.
Now, I would like to compare the same case for membrane elements (2-DOF per node) but I am not able to find a way to model a membrane in HM.
Any suggestion about a different element?
Thank you
Regards
Fabio

Thank you @Hyperman. Late reply, but solved it!
Hi,
https://community.altair.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=9c96007a1b2bd0908017dc61ec4bcba4To define a membrane, please leave MID2 and MID3 blank on the PSHELL property, or use PARAM,SHL2MEM.
