Geometry Check for Uniaxial/Corrugated panels

<< < (2/2)

James:
Based on the images of your structure, I think the smeared approach will return accurate results for panel designs with as few as 1 stringer. These panel bays are small and clearly bounded by frames which would enforce strain compatibility on the edges. I think you can disable the geometry check and feel safe ignoring it. This check was implemented to prevent users from analyzing large panels with few stringers since panels like that will likely not behave as a smeared panel.
