Shell 99 on Ansys
Hello.
I'm attempting to model a thin composite laminate plate in ansys and
after searching this website and using the ansys help, I have chosen to
use shell 99. However when I load up the Ansys 8.0 software on the
university computers (I am a student), I can not seem to find the Shell
99 choice, or in fact any of the other possibilites, such as shell 91,
shell181, solid 46, or solid 191.
Just wondering if anyone would know why this is the case, I'm
hoping that it;'s not because it's a university edition or something.
Cheers for the help.
You should have no problems
Dear Stephen,
SHELL99 is the correct choice. I've been using SHELL99 for years from
version 5.4 for teaching purposes. You should have no problems even with an
academic license. I would suggest your system administator to check the
software installation.
Sorry for not being a big help!
Eugenio.
