Shell element

Post by Baijanti »

Dear all

In the manual is mentioned for shell element the nodes must be in counter clockwise order. But in the example for that element in http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... ll_Element , nodes are in the clockwise order. Would you mind helping me which one is correct?

To me, the nodes in this example are given in the counter clock-wise direction.
