Layered Shell

[AHARSHIAN]

Hi,

I understood that layered shell module is also added to the new released version. However, I cannot find the command of layered shell in the Section and/or Element Modelling_Commands. I generally follow the Command Manual in the OpenSees Wiki. Does it get updated time by time? From where I can find the nonlinear layered shell object?

Appreciate your help.

sorry, the commands are here:

and i have updated the wiki to point to this location.

Hi, AHARSHIAN, I'm a PHD student of Prof. Lu who developed this element. If you have any further question about the new shear wall element, please don't hesitate to contact with me！

Thank you Dr. McKenna.
Thanks also to you, xiell, for your generous help. I will definitely use my chance.

Hi xiell
how do i choose the number of layers and size of meshes?

Hi,xiell, I am using the layered Shell that Prof.Lu developed and I have some question now. I have read some examples that you provided, but I don't get how to set the stiffness of the embedded beam that to connect the shell and fiber beam. Can you tell how to set it?I am eager to get your answer.Thank you very much.
