2. Notations#

The notations used here correspond to those used in [R3.08.01] and [R3.08.03]. One gives here the correspondence between this notation and that of the user documentation. \(\mathrm{DX},\mathrm{DY},\mathrm{DZ},\mathrm{DRX},\mathrm{DRY},\mathrm{DRZ}\mathrm{et}\mathrm{GRX}\) are the names of the degrees of freedom associated with the components of the \(u,v,w,{\theta }_{x},{\theta }_{y},{\theta }_{z},{\theta }_{x,x}\) displacement. They are expressed as a global coordinate system, except for the degree of freedom associated with warpage \(\mathrm{GRX}\), which is expressed as a local coordinate system.
