Required parameter:
ELSET
Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the shell elements for which the
section behavior is being defined.
Required, mutually exclusive parameters:
COMPOSITE
Include this parameter if the shell is made up of severallayers of m aterial.
MATERIAL
Set this parameter equal to the name of the material of which the shell is made.
Optional parameters:
CONTROLS
In an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis, set this parameter equal to the name of a section controls
definition (see “Section controls,” Section 21.1.4 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual) to
be used to specify the second-order accurate element formulation option, a nondefault hourglass
control formulation option, or scale factors.
In an ABAQUS/Standard analysis, set this parameter equal to the name of a section
controls definition to be used tospecify the enhanced hourglass control formulation (see “Section
controls,” Section 21.1.4 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual) or to be used in a subseq uent
ABAQUS/Explicit import analysis.
