Dear all,
I want to connect the surfaces of two shell structures (shell rings). For that purpose I was thinking tie constraints. However I am not sure how to do it properly. For example how should I assign thickness offset of each shell part (bottom surface, top surface , middle surface) in order to avoid any inconsistencies?
Best regards
Debojyoti Paul in general I know how to define shell thickness from section property. My question is different. Let me be more specific. For example in this particular case, if I define for both shell structures shell offset-> middle surface the thickness from both shell will intersect when I tie them. I don't know if this could lead to some inconsistencies
Also, does it matter which one is master and which one is slave?
you can define influence radius when defining tie constraints. use that
Abhimanyu Kumar Please give more details I am not getting your point.How to do that and why to do that?
1) look closely to the options in tie window
2) abaqus analysis manual-> constraints
Abhimanyu Kumar A part of question was regarding shell offset.Check my comment above
