Shell DKGQ vs SAP2000

Post by yekose »

hi,

ShellDKGQ gives the almost same result if i use the element only as plate element like in slab, but when i include the membrane forces as a shearwall in the element it really deviates from the SAP2000 results. Do you think there is a specific reason for this or i should get also the same results means i am doing mistakes somewhere?

how does the other shell element compare to SAP. trying to determine if this is a model or element problem.
