Initial imperfection for shell elements

[mathias_peron]

As it is possible to use a buckling deformation as an initial imperfection for bars I would be pleased to see this function extended to shells. But not only:

It would be perfect if it was possible to deform permanently a mesh (bar and shell elements) according to a load case (buckling or not) in order to analyse imperfect models. This function is available in FEMAP.

Have a nice day,

Mathias.

Thanks for supporting this. I personally lost hope, we didn't see any new useful features in the last 5 years.

Have a good day,

Mathias.

Hi @mathias_peron ,

Maybe my app Deformator will help with this task
