In many slab and shell projects, conventional plate modelling in FEM is often the go-to approach. While it works well for straightforward cases, it can sometimes miss critical in-plane forces and membrane actions that play a decisive role in the safety of complex structures.
This webinar will show you how to move beyond these limitations and unlock the full potential of shell design. Using Midas Gen, we will demonstrate how to correctly interpret FEM outputs and apply Eurocode-based reinforcement design that captures both in-plane and out-of-plane behavior.
We will cover practical applications including domes, flat slabs, water tanks, underground structures, irregular slabs (with or without openings), raft foundations, footings, and other complex slab geometries.
With project case studies and real-world applications, you will see firsthand how shell design not only improves structural reliability but also leads to more efficient and economical designs.
👉 Join us to discover when to switch from plate to shell design, how to read shell forces with confidence, and how to take your slab and shell design practice to the next level. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your engineering skills and gain practical know-how you can apply immediately.
