Meshing thin shells using four noded elements

To mesh thin shells using four noded elements to use in Finite Element Analysis

Description

To discretize thin shells using four noded elements. Thin cylindrical shells, spherical shells and conical shells can be meshed/discretized using four and three noded elements to use in Finite Element Analysis. On entering necessary inputs like length, breadth, radius, angle, number of elements etc., a Finite Element Mesh is plotted and nodal connectivity's and nodal coordinates are obtained.
