Shell Models Explained

Most structural engineers learn how to use shell elements. Few learn how they work. If you've ever looked at Mxy, twisting moments, coupling effects, or reinforcement directions and thought, "I trust the software, but I'm not sure I fully understand what's happening", this video is for you. Shell FE models are behind many of the analyses we perform every day, yet some of their most important behaviours are rarely explained clearly. Once you understand how shells work, you can set their properties and build your own formulas and engineering models. Watch this video done by Joni Hytönen and see how shell FEM really works.
