Hello
Question: Will the load effect be deleted by removing loadPattern?

Thank you for your attention. My question is that Increasing the slab tensile reinforcement ( bottom rebar= the steel layer of 0.523mm) does not have an effect on the flextural strength of the slab and stiffness, in the other word the Load-Deflection curves Slightly changed, but Increasing the top r...

excuse me. I show a part of the nodes definition. #Define Nodes (e.g.): # X Y Z node 6 1.500E+003 1.500E+003 3.000E+002 ... node 10 0.000E+000 0.000E+000 3.000E+002 node 22 9.790E+001 0.000E+000 3.000E+002 node 23 9.790E+001 9.790E+001 3.000E+002 node 24 0.000E+000 9.790E+001 3.000E+002 ... #Push Pa...

thankful I have modeled a 3D flat slab with multilayer shell element.a incrimental point load applied to middle (from top to bottom) and supports is placed in the slab edges (wihout applying in-plane restraints to the slab). the local Z direction is from bottom to top. The layers are arranged from b...

How to arrange layers in section LayeredShell in order to build Multilayer Shell element? Layers arranged from top to bottom or from bottom to top?
