1. Purpose

Solving a linear static mechanics problem.

This operator allows you to solve either:

• a linear static mechanical problem with the superposition of different boundary conditions and different loads,

• a thermo-mechanical analysis for a given list of moments.

• in this case the mechanical characteristics of the materials may depend on the temperature: the concept of the cham_mater type must then be defined on the basis of functions (cf. operator DEFI_MATERIAU [U4.43.01] operand ELAS_FO),

• the expansion load can only be determined if the expansion coefficient and the reference temperature have been defined (see operators DEFI_MATERIAU [U4.43.01] and AFFE_MATERIAU [U4.43.03]).

The concept produced by this operator is of the evol_elas type containing one or more displacement fields at the various times of calculation.
