Hello,
My name is Elad Katriel and I am a fourth year student for MSC in civil engineering in the Technion - Israel Instute of Technology.
I hope I can help your project and myself at the same time.
During my studies I try to solve a laminate shell problem by defining a new elemnt. That element will include 11 degrees of freedom at each node, and will have 4 nodes at total. The degrees of freedom will be the movments and rotations of diffrent parts of the laminate. Hopefully I will have better results than I get in usual elements.
Does anyone has idea which program is open enough to allow me to do it?


Thank you in advance
Elad Katriel

An Abaqus UEL subroutine may enable you to do what you are seeking.
