When passing loads from aqwa to apdl, does the outer contour of the model need to remain exactly the same for both aqwa and apdl? Will a little deviation affect the load transfer? apdl is modelled with shell units and there is an offset problem, is it necessary to keep the shell in the same position as the faces in aqwa? Or is it sufficient to align the actual shape of the shell with the aqwa?
