Re: Problem with Implicit

Hi Ravi,

1/Why do you choose 1mm ? Choose something like 10microns, you will 
gain CPU time.
2/What kind of elements do you use ? I think the problem may be due 
to a configuration of shells+beams that are incompatible... 
Moreprecisely, the use of Sxx5 shells with beams orthogonal to them 
may lead to a problem for the Rz rotation ddl...
