Finite Element Meshes of Polygonal Cross-section Shear Wall (Shell Elements) (4.5.3.7)

Reinforced concrete walls with a rectangular cross section, I, T, L, U or C are modeled automatically
with shell finite elements containing degrees of freedom for both in-plane and out-of-plane displacements .

All 6 degrees of freedom are
considered at the joints of shell finite elements .

The user determines the selection of finite element sizes so that the internal force distribution is calculated with sufficient accuracy by entering the finite element size.
