![]() ![]() If you have adequate computer resources, relatively low iteration of changes in your model design, opt for SOLID element approach. However, the calculation time is relatively faster while maintaining a certain tolerance in the result difference. User might find this time consuming when the assembly models become complicated. ![]() Constrain and contact sets can only assigned to shell entities. SOLIDWORKS introduce “Shell Manager” feature to help in speeding up the shell assignment task. On the other hand, Shell element approach might require a longer setup time as converting of solid entities into surface shell entities actions required. In this case, more computer resources are required from the indicator of higher number of DOF and calculation time. SOLID element approach have shorter setup time as there is not much model preparation works involve and you can readily assign the constraint and contact sets directly on the model without the concern of “Model unstable” error message during computation. Comparing from the 3 expects of preparation, computation and result, there are pros and cons with SOLID and SHELL element approach. ![]()
