ANSYS APDL 18.2 - Symmetric Stiffened Plate
 

Hello,

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

https://confluence.cornell.edu/displ...+Specification

I'm trying to replicate it but can't get the same answear in the end. I just don't know if the wrong part is in the moment i put the section (using section offset top-plane to the plate and mid-plane to the stiffener) or it's necessary to use more commands.

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