Highlights

A question it answers

How do I mesh a platform of fifty plates with a finer mesh on the loaded deck than on the side panels, weld the gussets on and send it to ShellFEA?

What you put in

A STEP model of surfaces or sheet bodies with its product tree (or a sample: a tank, a gusset bracket, a tube on a plate); a thickness and an element size per body; the material from the Twinsys materials library; fillet welds from picked edges with a height and an angle; bolts in the holes it finds, as RBE2 or RBE3, on the hole edge or a washer; remote masses and remote points; named selections.

What you get

A shell mesh of 3-node shells with its bodies, thicknesses, material, seams, weld strips, bolts and rigid elements, saved as a .shellmesh.json file on this computer or in the cloud, or sent straight to ShellFEA, where supports and loads can be put on its named selections; a check of element and node counts, welded nodes, free edges and bodies without a thickness.
