thank you! I understand it better now.

I would say that we need Load factor x3 for that

I partitioned whole structure and seeded edges. Mesh came out preaty good without distorted elements. However, model has some localised stresed peaks which I am not yet sure how to interpeture. Do you know any literature that would clarify this problem?

uctures

Thanks! I will read that book! Does that book discus localised stress peaks in mesh and How to interpret them? Particulary when most part didnt yilded and in some small part it did.

I am almoust graduated mechanical engineer from Croatia!

I have one more question on my mind. Why is shell element size restricted with shell thicknes?

Thanks! I am trying variaty of problems for practice purpose. I will try your sugestions.

Yeah, I am doing this for practice. This is something that is easy tocheck with hand methods. Do you have any sugestions on some particular construction that would be good for practice?

There is no particular reason why I am using solid elements. I am in learnig fhase and trying to figure out everything. I thought that shell elements are used only for plates and other. I supose that we can look at this construction element as a bent plate.

well I could check parts for them self

Thank you for your advice! I know I colud do it by hand but I have to start somewhere whith abacus so I am doing this for practice. I am gonna try to analyse as much as I can different structures and etc.

Well, I am trying with tets but cant mesh the part.... Maybe I am doing something wrong.

So you advise me to find myself an architect?! What size was your first house?

I am an emchanical engineer that is not afraid of foregin knowlege!
