Abaqus Tutorial: Cylindrical Shell Under Shell Edge Pressure | Static FEA with Shell Elements

In this Abaqus tutorial, we simulate a cylindrical shell subjected to shell edge pressure using static finite element analysis (FEA). This tutorial demonstrates how to model thin-walled cylindrical structures with shell elements, and apply edge pressure loads accurately—an essential approach for analyzing pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels.

You'll learn how to build a cylindrical shell model, assign shell properties, apply shell edge pressure correctly, and interpret stress results in static loading conditions.
