The Convert Shells macro is used to convert degenerate second order shells into first order shells.

nas_convertshells

 

To convert degenerate second order shells:

1.Select the file for which the second order shell elements are to be converted.
2.Click Convert.

Messages are displayed in the message box, which state the name and location of the new file as well as the file where all the unconverted second order shells will be placed.

Note:You can import the Nastran file directly, and all the degenerate second order shells will be written into the hmx file.  In doing this, you will miss all the degenerate second order shells in the imported Nastran file.
