In Abaqus it's possible to choose between shell and wire and point. Ansys only accepts a surface body, like shell. If I have a wire to anlyze in 2D , what do I do
If your question concerns the geometrical modelling of the axisymmetric shell in ANSYS, then use BSPLIN (section 5.2.3.1 of ANSYS Modeling and Meshing Guide)
