Mayur Rathore

Hoshang Hayder, If you are going to perform 2-D finite element analysis then solid 182 and 183 elements are not suitable. you can go with plane 182 or plane 183 (axisymmetric element) for 2-D FE analysis of any structure. Quad element will give you satisfactory results with the exact solution of deflection and stresses.
