You can model both situations with ideCAD. 1) If you want to model your curtain as a bar, you enter it with the index S. 2) If you want to model your curtain as a shell, you can enter it as a panel 3) If you want to model your curtain as a bar, you can also model the curtain you entered as a panel. Modelling multi-armed polygon curtains as a single element is the worst possible mistake. It is necessary to model these curtains as shells and to examine the shear force and moment in each arm separately. This can only be achieved by modeling the curtains as shells. The opinions of institutions related to this subject are of course important, but the point that should be taken into account is the opinions of universities and chambers.
