Comments
- All interior angles must be less than 180 degrees.
- Shear panel elements are ignored in heat transfer analysis.
- PARAM,SHEARALT,YES can be used to activate an alternate formulation for CSHEAR elements which can help improve results when distorted (non-rectangular) CSHEAR elements are present in the model.
- This card is represented as a quad4 element in HyperMesh.
