Mapdl.sspa(a11='', a21='', a31='', a22='', a32='', a33='', t='', **kwargs)#

Specifies a preintegrated membrane stiffness for shell sections.

Mechanical APDL Command: SSPA

Parameters:
a11str

Membrane stiffness component (symmetric lower part of submatrix [ A ]).

a21str

Membrane stiffness component (symmetric lower part of submatrix [ A ]).

a31str

Membrane stiffness component (symmetric lower part of submatrix [ A ]).

a22str

Membrane stiffness component (symmetric lower part of submatrix [ A ]).

a32str

Membrane stiffness component (symmetric lower part of submatrix [ A ]).

a33str

Membrane stiffness component (symmetric lower part of submatrix [ A ]).

tstr

Temperature.

Notes

The behavior of shell elements is governed by the generalized-stress/generalized-strain relationship of the form :

The sspa command, one of several preintegrated shell section commands, specifies the membrane stiffness quantity (submatrix [ A ]) for a preintegrated shell section. The section data defined is associated with the section most recently defined (via the sectype command).

Unspecified values default to zero.

Related commands are sspb, sspd, sspe, ssmt, ssbt, and sspm.
