FEA Analysis Abaqus: Skew plate tutorial - shell elements

Getting started with abaqus Interactive edition chapter 4. Use shell elements to model structures in which one dimension (the thickness) is significantly smaller than the other dimensions and in which the stresses in the thickness direction are negligible. A structure, such as a pressure vessel, whose thickness is less than 1/10 of a typical global structural dimension generally can be modeled with shell elements
