1. Reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

We consider a plate with a height \(5\mathit{cm}\) and a length \(1m\).

In the case of the parametric study, the angle of the applied load will be varied from \(0°\) to \(90°\).

1.2. Material properties#

The material is isotropic elastic whose properties are:

  • \(E\mathrm{=}210000\mathit{MPa}\)

  • \(\nu \mathrm{=}0.3\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

The degrees of freedom DX and DY are blocked at embedding.

Pressure \(p\) applied to the end is \(1\mathit{MPa}\).

1.4. Parametric study#

The advantage of this test is to serve as an example for the distribution of parametric calculations. Refer to the manual [U2.08.07] for more details and for the launch of this test as a parametric study.

When the test case is started, all the data files are not used.

Their usefulness is specified here:

  • distr01a.comm: nominal study command file that will be declined for each set of parameters.

  • distr01a.com1: additional command file testing the reference value in case \(\alpha \mathrm{=}0°\).

  • distr01a.med: modeling mesh A.

  • distr01a.50 and distr01a.51: example of defining parameter sets.

  • distr01a.11: example of post-processing where the results of the various calculation cases are combined to produce a single curve or table.

The last three files are not used when starting the standard test case.
