Question

How to add end release to the shell elements?

Answer

To simulate realistic support or connection behavior, user can assign end releases to shell elements. This is done by defining the boundary conditions at the selected nodes. For each 2D element, user can independently release axial and rotational degrees of freedom as needed.

Steps to Add End Release (Shell):
Go to Mesh > Elements > Parameters > 2D > Add End Release (Shell).
