STAGS model of the same optimized, complexly corrugated cylindrical shell with smoothing under uniform axial compression

From the same paper as the previous 5
images.

Fig. 53 from the 2014 GENOPT paper. Top two frames: The huge STAGS model of the optimized specific case, narw96updown with smoothing. Bottom frame: the critical buckling mode and load factor, 1.499. Compare with the bottom frame in the previous figure. There is good agreement between the predictions of STAGS and HUGEBOSOR4.
