Notes
The behavior of shell elements is governed by the generalized-stress/generalized-strain relationship of the form:
If the coefficients B12
, B13
, B23
are undefined, ANSYS uses a symmetric form of submatrix [
B
]. If any one
of the coefficients B12
, B13
, B23
is nonzero, ANSYS considers
submatrix [
B
] to be unsymmetric.
The SSPB command, one of several preintegrated shell
section commands, specifies the coupling stiffness quantity
(submatrix [
B
] data) for a preintegrated shell section. The section data defined
is associated with the section most recently defined (via the SECTYPE command).
Unspecified values default to zero.
Related commands are SSPA, SSPD, SSPE, SSMT, SSBT, and SSPM.
If you are using the SHELL181 or SHELL281 element's Membrane option (KEYOPT(1) = 1), it is not necessary to issue this command.
