v1.01.237 ZZZZ237 — Basic validation of LIAISON_UNIL and TOLE_APPA

Summary:

This test is an analytical and non-regression test. Analytical tests are done on trips only. These tests are complemented by non-regression on the values of the nodal forces. The objective is to validate the following functionalities of the operator DEFI_CONTACT:

• the exclusion of knots by TOLE_APPA in discrete and continuous formulation

• the unilateral link condition LIAISON_UNIL applied to trips

Modeling A:

• Reference contact calculation using the “CONTRAINTE” method, validation of TOLE_APPA

Modeling B:

• Validation of LIAISON_UNIL by comparison with the results of modeling A
