The relationship of variable between VAPAS and SwiftComp

  1. Jinming Li

    Hello Anyone,

    I have a question about some variable between VAPAS an SwiftComp,

    what are the relationship between

    the C11,C12 and C22 in Eq.(17) of "SwiftCompTM User Manual" ,

    the transverse shear stiffness terms in Effective Timoshenko Stiffness Matrix (1-extension; 2,3-shear; 4-torsion; 5,6-bending) of xxx.msh.k

    and  the TRANSVERSE STIFFNESS MATRIX FOR REISSNER-MINDLIN MODEL in xxx.vap.k of VAPAS 1.0.

    As stated in the "SwiftCompTM User Manual", are they equivalent?

    They don't seem to be equal based on my calculations for the same model.

    Thanks!
