In abaqus, Can I model an I section using profile option and yet use shell elements to model it?

05 May 2015 1 7K Report

I want to generate I beam sections but I want to model it using shell elements.

I am doing a parametric study on buckling on beams as shown in the attachment. I should use shell elements to model the I sections.

I have to take initial sway of the beam and residual stresses (during manufacturing) into account.

Is it possible to so. I am not quite familiar with Abaqus.
