LS-DYNA TUTORIAL 9: Tensile Test with Solid Elements and Variable Thickness Shells
In this tutorial, I am continuing from where we left in the tensile test simulation. If you have not done that tutorial yet, then I advise you to do it first. If you are lazy, then you can download the ready file from dynaexamples website at:

The reason why I did another video on tensile test is to answer two of the requests. I have no time to answer all, but I will be more frequent in making videos now!
Topics covered in this video:
How to create solid elements from shell elements,
How to change the normal of the shell elements,
How to check and view the thickness of shells
How to decide the reference surface for the shell elements (NLOC option)
How to make shells with variable thickness,
How to update boundary conditions
How to extract the cross sectional forces from tensile test
