ANSYS APDL 18.2 - Symmetric Stiffened Plate

[Rodrigo]

Hello,

I'm a new ANSYS user and could someone give me some help about this tutorial:

https://confluence.cornell.edu/disp...+Semi-monocoque+shell+-+Problem+Specification

I'm trying to replicate it but can't get the same answear in the end. Any advice about what i could do, is welcome!

The element I'm using to do it is the SHELL281.

What aspect of the example are you not able to replicate? Is it a stress mismatch, deformation, etc? I notice the element called out in the tutorial is SHELL93 but you're using SHELL281; is it possible the difference is due to the element selection?
