We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Janne,

While there are 3 translational and 3 rotational DOFs for the SHELL181, SOLSH190 consists of 3 translational DOFs per node. If these two elements are connected, such that, they share common node(s), then the translations will be transferred across them but rotations won't. Please refer to this Forum thread for more information - Interface between solid and shell elements (ansys.com)
