                     Structural shell family of elements.
                     Choose the 8-noded layered shell element (SHELL99).
                     OK to apply the element type and close the dialog box.















                     Close the element type dialog box.








































                  3.  Define real constants
                     For this analysis, since the assumption is plane stress with thick-
                     ness, you will enter the thickness as a real constant for PLANE82.
