A new 3D solid shell element is developed in SAMCEF™ code. The purpose of this element is to make the meshing easier starting from a 3D definition of the structure, it is not necessary to extract the mean surface of the shell. Here, we are not concerned by the meshing; we only are concerned by the element formulation. In order to improve the quality of the results, we add internal degrees of freedom as suggested by Simo and co-authors. We use the Enhanced Assumed Strain method. A special handling of the transverse shear is performed in order to pass successfully the plate patch test (constant bending) and to avoid shear locking. The formulation is based on the work of Bathe and Dvorkin for classical shell. The element has been developed in linear and non-linear analysis; it can be a mono or multilayer element.
