4. Summary of results

This test allowed to validate the methodology for solving a non-linear problem (here an elasto-plasticity problem) in exploded commands, without using the STAT_NON_LINE command.

In this test, the scope of the methodology is limited:

• no external forces (loading imposed via Lagranges)

• no temperature loading (control variables)

• no steering,

• no linear search,

• no contact,

• the NUME_DDL does not change over the time steps (in particular, the nodes whose displacement is imposed do not vary).
