Reply To: singularities in model with connected beam and shell elements

Hi Miguel,

Thanks for posting your query here. I checked the images you had shared and it seems that it might be singularity. One component of the bending load is acting inplane which is compressing the plane.

If the stress changes with mesh and even location may change then it represents that stress is not converged. At singularity you cannot have a converged stress.
