 <title>Section definition influences the finite element size?</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/2346</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I have a doubt regarding the next situation:  I&amp;#39;m using a 2D shell deformable part with a solid homogeneous section (plane stress/strain thickness ratio=100) in a standard analysis (static general/static Riks). Should be in this case my mesh always bigger or equal to 100? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Is the plane stress/strain thickness ratio size influencing the minimum finite element size in ABAQUS?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
