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.

Hello,

When KEYOPT(3) = 0 is specified, SHELL181 uses an hourglass control method for membrane and bending modes. By default, SHELL181 calculates the hourglass parameters for both metal and hyperelastic applications.
