hi , xiell
can we use the Layered Shell for modeling of slab ?

hi dears Can we use this new model (A multi-layer shell element) instead of the ShellMITC4 with PlateFiberSection for the modeling of 3D slab shell? 1. Multi-dimensional concrete model. nDmaterial PlaneStressUserMaterial $matTag 40 7 $fc $ft $fcu $epsc0 $epscu $epstu $stc $matTag nDmaterial PlateFro...

Hi dears Load which is applied to membrane objects transfers directly to supporting structural objects, whereas meshed shell objects have bending stiffness and therefore resist a portion of the load through flexural deformation. As a result, less load will be available to transfer to beams located u...
