Topic: compare the solution accuracy of CCT Element in OOFEM with ANSYS
Hello bp,
Recently, I compared the solution of OOOFEM with ANSYS. I used the CCT Element in OOFEM and shell63 element ANSYS. The material properties, structural geometry, boundary conditions and the element behaviors are exactly the same. However, the solution of OOFEM is about only 10% of the solution abtained by ANSYS.
My model is a 6m long, 4m wide, 0.5m thick plate. The two long ends are clamped and a 2000N vertically down force applies in the middle of the plate.
Here is the solution of node 2358 in ANSYS, the coordinate of node 2358 is (2.5500,2.0028), and the force applies on this node.
NODE UX UY UZ USUM
2358 0.0000 0.0000 -0.19361E-06 0.19361E-06
NODE ROTX ROTY ROTZ RSUM
2358 -0.91102E-10-0.38963E-08 0.0000 0.38973E-08
Here is the solution of node 2358 in OOFEM:
Node 2358:
dof 1 d -2.44355595e-007
dof 2 d -1.30415359e-010
dof 3 d -3.75831204e-009
Here is the apdl program in ANSYS.

I also provide the data file I made for the OOFEM below. So could you please check it for me? I have checked it by myself several times, but I can't fingure out where the fault is.
Thank you.
