Solidworks simulation | Structural analysis with shell element

Learn to perform shell analysis of a structure using solidworks simulation.
In SolidWorks Simulation 2015, you can also manage all the shells at a single place by
using the Shell Manager. Shells are generally used to represent parts that have very low
thickness like sheetmetal parts. The advantage of using shells lies in element type used for
them during meshing. For solid objects 3D elements are used but for shells 2D elements
like linear triangular and parabolic triangular elements are used. The analysis performed
using 2D elements is faster.
