Hi all.<\/span><\/span> I have a cylinder made of steel rings, they are held by beams at the bottom on two rings.<\/span><\/span> The structure is several meters high.<\/span><\/span> I solve a problem in static analysis using beams and shells.<\/span><\/span> During the creation of beams and shells, I had questions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When we make beams and shells, we attach a strip (beam) to the shell in SPACE CL.<\/span><\/span> Thus, if you build a mesh, then the beam will be in the middle of the sheet (to which it was drawn).<\/span><\/span> Further, in the MODEL section in the neometry tab, you can assign an offset to the beam so that the beam is attracted to the sheet only by the wall, does this affect the calculation or only the visual?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Before all the sheets (rings) and beams were converted into beams and shells, there was a body (volume extract) inside the cylinder, which simulated the filling of this cylinder with a medium. When I made the rings of the cylinder into shells, the body of the medium became smaller in diameter and I had to double it up to the shell. Does it affect the calculation? This is right?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
