CFVR0967 - Shell VF reinforcement check according to EC2

Bending and axial check taking into account only torsional moments.

The model is made up of a square shell element of 6.0m x 1.0m. The nodes of one side are completely restrained.
A surface load of 649840 N/m is applied on the element.
The results are compared with those of two beams.
The reinforcement checking code is the EC2.

Element types used in the model: SHELL181

Needed CivilFEM Modules:
Geotechnical Module
Bridges and Civil Non Linearities Module
Advanced Prestressed Concrete Module

The example cannot be launched on an educational license.
