Could I simulate shear wall using shell element with other material, such as PlateStress Material? How to use other material to simulate shear wall? Could you give some example for this? Thank you vesna

You mean I may simulate shear wall using layered shell? I would try it, thank you vesna,.

Dear As i know, we can use dipcolumnbeamInt element or nonlinearColumnBeam with shear material section aggregator. However, they are all two-nodes element, and in structure there are four nodes connecting one shear wall. How to model a shear wall in 3D? 1.Shell element? How to relize it? Have a simp...
