Shell Generator

Generate shell mesh with external stiffiners

Stiffiner is plate on cylinder

Input data:

• Diameter of cylinder
• Height cylinder
• Stiffiners(Height and amount):
  • Vertical
  • Horizontal
• Distance between points
• Type of finite element : 3-node, 4-node, 6-node, 8-node finite element
• TODO : different type of vertical and horizontal stiffiners
• TODO : Different height of stiffiners
• TODO : I-column
• TODO : Imperfection - Oval, Defect
• TODO : GMSH creating model

Result:

• INP mesh

	s := shellGenerator.Shell{Height: 5.0, Diameter: 2.0, Precision: 0.2}
	// write the result to INP format //
	err := s.GenerateINP(filename)
