1) Use DM to get mid-surface, use all-quad-mesh with SHELL181.
1) Use DM to get mid surface, use all quad mesh with SHELL181.
2) Use sweep mesh to get SOLSH190 model
2) Use sweep mesh to get SOLSH190 model.
If the above methods can not be used a fine SOLID187 model can also achieve
If the above methods can not be used, a fine SOLID187 model can also achieve
the accurate result, but it’s a very expensive way.
