structure shell list command

Syntax

structure shell list keyword <range>

Primary keywords:

apply    depth-factor    element-type    group    information    force-node    property    resultant    stress    stress-principal    system-local

List properties and response of each shell element in the range.

apply

uniform applied pressure acting on the element

depth-factor

depth factor used during stress recovery

element-type

finite element type used

group <slot s >

list the group assignment(s) of this element. If slot is supplied, list the group assignment for this element, if any, in slot s.

information

lists general element information, including id and component-id numbers, connected nodes, centroids, surface area, volume, and the hide and select status

force-node keyword

list nodal forces. By default, components are displayed in terms of the element local coordinate systems. These are the forces exerted by the nodes on the element.

local

list forces in terms of the element local coordinate system (the default)

global

list forces in terms of the global coordinate system

property keyword

density

density, \(ρ\)

thickness

shell thickness

thermal-expansion

thermal expansion coefficient

anisotropic-membrane

anisotropic membrane material-stiffness coefficients {\(c^{\prime}_{11}, c^{\prime}_{12}, c^{\prime}_{13}, c^{\prime}_{22}, c^{\prime}_{23}, c^{\prime}_{33}\)}

anisotropic-bending

anisotropic bending material-stiffness coefficients {\(c^{\prime}_{11}, c^{\prime}_{12}, c^{\prime}_{13}, c^{\prime}_{22}, c^{\prime}_{23}, c^{\prime}_{33}\)}

material-x

vector used to determine local \(x\)-direction for the material coordinate system

isotropic

isotropic material properties: \(E\) and \(v\), where \(E\) is Young’s modulus \([F/L^2\)\(]\) and \(v\) is Poisson’s ratio

orthotropic-membrane

orthotropic membrane material-stiffness coefficients {\(c^{\prime}_{11}, c^{\prime}_{12}, c^{\prime}_{22}, c^{\prime}_{33}\)}

orthotropic-bending

orthotropic membrane material-stiffness coefficients {\(c^{\prime}_{11}, c^{\prime}_{12}, c^{\prime}_{22}, c^{\prime}_{33}\)}

resultant <nodes>

all eight stress resultant quantities last calculated with the structure shell recover resultants command. If the nodes keyword is given, the values of these quantities are supplied at each node of the element, in addition to the value at the element centroid.

stress <nodes>

the stress state calculated with the structure shell recover stress command. If the nodes keyword is given, the values of these quantities are supplied at each node of the element, in addition to the value at the element centroid.

stress-principal <nodes>

principal stresses calculated with the structure shell recover stress command. If the nodes keyword is given, the values of these quantities are supplied at each node of the element, in addition to the value at the element centroid.

system-local

element local coordinate system
