Modeling A ============== Characteristics of modeling ----------------------------------- Here we validate the behavior of the MACR_ECREVISSE command in the presence of a horizontal through crack. A modeling in plane deformations is chosen for the mechanics D_ PLAN, and a thermal modeling PLAN_DIAG, with a diagonalized mass matrix for the thermal one. The flow characteristics have been described with the geometry in §1.1. Characteristics of the mesh ---------------------------- The mesh used is shown: .. image:: images/10000000000002040000014A44769FA4A4278A52.png :width: 4.822in :height: 2.9917in .. _RefImage_10000000000002040000014A44769FA4A4278A52.png: **Figure** 3.2-a **: Full mesh** The dimensions are the same as for the geometry. Number of knots: 1260 Number of meshes: 1156 QUAD4 The growth parameters used to perform the mesh are as follows: from :math:`0.002m` (intrados) to :math:`0.05m` (extrados), and idem from BFISH and BFISB to ENCASTRE. Sizes and results ---------------------- The significant quantities of this calculation are tested, namely: the flow rate, as well as the displacement and the temperature at the inlet and outlet of cracks. Two moments are tested.

This means that the lips are in contact (keyword DEFI_CONTACT activated) and the crack is closed. On the other hand, for the hydraulic part (managed by *Crayvisse*), a persistent opening is fixed, so that the flow is never zero.
