In general this option is used when nonlinear material response must be modeled.Include the SYMMETRIC parameter to activate simplified modeling of symmetric composites.Laminated Shell Section Definition (4/10)The SHELL GENERAL SECTION option provides s

7、ignificant computational savings if the material behavior is linear. In this case the section stiffness matrix can be given directly:Laminated Shell Section Definition (5/10)Alternatively (and more commonly), the section is defined by giving the layers thicknesses and material properties for layers.

8、Abaqus will then calculate the sections behavior automatically.You can specify the idealization of the section response and the symmetric composites.In this case (as with the *SHELL SECTION option) stress and strain output is available throughout the shells thickness.Usage:*SHELL GENERAL SECTION, CO

21、)In many cases the location of a section point is described in terms of its position relative to the midpoint of the cross section.For shells and composite solids this relative position is reported as a fraction of the distance between the midpoint of the cross section and the SPOS or SNEG surface o

Contours of integration point values can be plotted as two-dimensional fronts located at the section points.Contours can be plotted for two section locations on the same shell (conventional or continuum) or composite solid.Section Point Base
