Let us forget about pure SOLID elements for the moment (I don&#8217;t even use them). What I do have, is SHELL181 elements connected to SOLSH190 elements. The former has 6 DOFs and latter 3 DOFs.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, are you saying that one cannot say for sure that how many DOFs the shared nodes actually have? I did not use any special formulation, I simply made areas that are connected to volumes. The former I meshed with SHELLS and latter with SOLID-SHELLS using Ansys Mechanical APDL.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Janne&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-368955","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/368955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/368955\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
