Introduction
A brief description of the example.
*CONSTRAINED_SHELL_TO_SOLID Impulsively Loaded Cap with Shells and Solids LS-DYNA Manual Section: *CONSTRAINED_SHELL_TO_SOLID Additional Sections: *LOAD_SEGMENT Example: Impulsively Loaded Cap with Shells and Solids Filename: constrained.shell_solid.dome.k Description: A dome has an impulsive pressure load. The dome contains shell and brick element joined with shell-brick interfaces. Model: Only 1/4 of the dome is modeled due to symmetry. The dome shells are Hughes-Liu shell elements with three integration point through the thickness. Four shell elements have a pressure load of 5,308 psi over 0.0017246 square inches. The termination time is 0.0004 seconds. Input: The model contains one shell-brick group that has 7 shell nodes tied to 5 brick node (*CONSTRAINED_SHELL_TO_SOLID). The model contains four pressure surfaces (*LOAD_SEGMENT). Five nodes are written to the time history ASCII database file nodout (*DATABASE_HISTORY_NODE, *DATABASE_NODOUT). Results: The plots show the response of the dome. Reference: T. Littlewood
