The geometry is very thick compared to the length and the width of the part.​​

The CAD model is mostly beam structures.​​

You need to see what the stress through the thickness is.​​

The thickness of the geometry is small compared to the length and width of the part.

Midsurfaces

Idealizations

Find Thin Bodies

Offset Surfaces

Make the analysis take longer.​

Determine when to use solid elements instead of beam elements.​

Find where the percent change in stress or strain between changes in mesh sizes reaches an acceptable limit.​

Use higher order elements.​

All of the elements will be refined in the convergence study.

None of the elements will be refined in the convergence study.

The convergence study will be turned off.

The growth rate from refined elements to the global mesh will be 0.
