Extracting mid surface

Hi

I am currently using code aster solver for shell element analysis ,for that mid surface is required.   Is it possible to extract mid surface in salome , 

Thank you for fast reply

Warm Regards

Yes,

I  (own engineering office, mechanical engineering, if interested: see http://www.aar-naval.com/aar_c_referenzen_en.htm) would like to switch from ANSYS to Salome-Meca.

But the generation of mid surfaces is a must-be !!

Most of my steel constructions are plate constructions, and I need urgently a possibility to generate shell models from CAD.

I'm wondering, that no other user have asked here!

Also there should be a possibility to prolong the mid-surfaces , that they touch again.

Warm regards from cold North-Germany

Hello!

As I know, only LS-PrePost (it is free very useful prepost for LS-Dyna) can create midsurface, after that you can save geometry to neutral format. Direct link to archive https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/lsprepost/

Best regards,

Hello,

we are working on this subject inside the SHAPER module. It is a tricky problem for a general geometry. We built a prototype for standard shapes: planes, cylindres, sphere. I hope we can provide this solution in Salome 9.9.
