Plastic calculation of metal plates and shells in SCIA Engineer 25
The material steel owes its popularity, among other things, to its elasto-plastic ductile behavior, which allows superior strength - through plastic redistribution - when the yield strength is reached locally.
SCIA Engineer 25 enables a type of non-linear analysis that includes this phenomenon: the plastic calculation of steel plates and shells.
In this webinar, we will present:
- An introduction to the mathematical model used
- An overview of the material laws supported
- Several examples illustrating plastic behavior
- Modelling tips for managing even bolt and plate connections
