Dear @lolito ,
You can try the following test (Figure attached). This can be done either with beam or shell elements.
This cantilevered “beam” is subjected to a moment at one end while it is fixed at the other end.
This is slender, of course, say 100 elements along the longest direction while maybe one element in thickness. The curvature of the beam should follow 1/R = M/EI where R is the radius of curvature, E the young’s modulus and I the area moment of inertia. Would love to see what are the capabilities for doing such a nonlinear calculation.
Any recommendation from Guido @dhondt would be very welcome.
Cheers,
/JJ.
