Hello, I'm trying to program a quadrilateral classical Mindlin flat shell element (full integration for membrane, bending and selective reduced integration for transverse shear).
Now, the situation is:
for pure tension test, it works well (because only the membrane part works),
for pure bending test, it gives very bad result compared with S4R, and I find that's because the incremental rotations at each step are different.
We're running a series of free workshops at the AMP Technology Centre in Rotherham (June 27th), the University of Liverpool (June 28th) and the University of Leeds (June 29th) this month, where we'll be explaining the benefits of Simpleware for working with 3D image data.

Dear Colleagues,
A brand new Siconos 4.0.0 is out !! Siconos is now distributed under Apache 2.0 license.
What is Siconos ?
Siconos is an open-source scientific software primarily targeted at modeling and simulating nonsmooth dynamical systems in C++ and in Python:
+ Mechanical systems (rigid or solid) with unilateral contact and Coulomb friction and impact (nonsmooth mechanics, contact dynamics, multibody systems dynamics or granular materials).
As many of you know, the scientific community lost William (Bill) Klug to a senseless act of violence on June 1, 2016. A memorial to Bill has been penned by his graduate advisor, Michael Ortiz. It has been posted at the following website:
