Reference problem ===================== Geometry --------- A cylindrical shell (1/4 cylinder) of height :math:`h\mathrm{=}40` and radius :math:`R\mathrm{=}10` and thickness :math:`e\mathrm{=}0.2` is embedded on its center line and subjected to internal pressure :math:`p\mathrm{=}2`. It is meshed twice: .. csv-table:: ":math:`\mathit{ma1}`: :math:`7\mathrm{\times }14` "," QUAD4" ":math:`\mathit{ma2}`: :math:`8\mathrm{\times }16\mathrm{\times }2` "," TRIA6" +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | + .. image:: images/100000000000015D000001FF4344BADABB42C6E6.png + .. image:: images/100000000000015E0000020615E629ACDEA4FB02.png + | :width: 2.8138in | :width: 2.9717in | + :height: 3.8992in + :height: 4.0311in + | | | + + + | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |:math:`\mathit{ma1}` |:math:`\mathit{ma2}` | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Material properties ----------------------- :math:`E\mathrm{=}1.{10}^{6}` :math:`\nu \mathrm{=}0.3` Boundary conditions, loading ---------------------------------- The group of nodes :math:`\mathit{AB1}` is embedded (the three movements and the three rotations are blocked). .. math:: : label: EQ-None \ mathit {DX}\ mathrm {=}\ mathit {DY}\ mathit {DY}\ mathrm {=}\ mathit {DZ}\ mathrm {=} 0. The shell is subjected to an internal pressure :math:`p\mathrm{=}2`. Validated functionalities ------------------------ The validation concerns the 'ELEM' method in the case of surface cells immersed in the :math:`\mathit{R3}` space. We also test the VIS_A_VIS keyword for the 'ELEM' method.
