Abaqus Tutorial: Lower Shell of a Game Controller

A thin-walled plastic part modelled with shells and beams in Abaqus/CAE (practical L05). The tutorial covers shell offsets, beam ribs, joining shells to solids, loading through a reference point with a distributing coupling, and symmetric and antisymmetric half models.
