Shell-to-solid coupling is intended to be used for mesh refinement studies where local modeling requires a relatively fine through-the-thickness solid mesh coupled to the edge of a shell mesh, as shown in?Figure 31.3.3–2. In such a case Abaqus will assemble constraints that couple the displacement and rotation of each shell node to the average displacement and rotation of the solid surface in the vicinity of the shell node.Figure 31.3.3–1?Typical examples of shell-to-solid coupling.Figure 31.3.
