Scordelis-Lo roof

Static (shells)In development

Shell element sensitivity to locking

Problem statement

Geometry: Cylindrical shell roof: radius 25, length 50, thickness 0.25, subtended angle 80° (consistent units).
Material: E = 4.32×10⁸, ν = 0.
Boundary conditions: Rigid diaphragms at the curved ends, free straight edges; self-weight loading of 90 per unit area.
Measured quantity: Vertical deflection at the midpoint of the free straight edge.

Lands with the scripting engine (see Documentation) — this setup will be runnable from commands, no manual rebuild needed.

The solver core is still in development — there's no result yet. It'll appear here right after the first run, no retouching.
