Hi

Shell:

Because they are so thin, one can just select on of these faces (belonging to the thin parts shown), and do ctrl+c, and ctrl+v which will give us a new surface body that can be meshed with shell elements later (and connected to main body using contacts).

For beams see the above post.

All the best

Erik
