A linear axisymmetric Shell element is also available. For most analysesthe standard large-strain Shell Elements are appropriate. These include: S4R S3R SAX1 These Elements are discussed briefly here and in more detail in the Element Selection in abaqus /Standardlecture notes. If, however, the analysis involves small membrane strains and arbitrarily large rotations, the small-strain Shell Elements (S4RS, S3RS, and S4RSW) are more computationally efficient.
•SAX1 (linear interpolation) ... •If there are significant differences between logarithmic strainsand nominal strains, it probably is a large-strain problem. •Try a prototype analysis with both element types, and judge which element type to use in future analyses.
