Shell
Glossary Term
In RFEM, there are the following modelling possibilities, for example:
- Quadrangle surface
- Rotated surface
- Pipe
- B-spline surface
- NURBS surface
- Trajectory surface
Shells are loaded by bending and membrane forces. If the thickness of a shell is small in comparison with its span, the load is usually transferred by membrane forces.
As described in FAQ 002727, the modelling using quadrangle surfaces is preferred in the case of complex models.
