3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh is composed of a QUAD4 mesh with four nodes (\(\mathit{N1}\), \(\mathit{N2}\), \(\mathit{N3}\) and \(\mathit{N4}\)).

For each mesh, there are 4 integration points

  • Node group \(\mathit{ENC}\) is composed of nodes \(\mathit{N1}\) and \(\mathit{N2}\)

  • Node group \(\mathit{CHA}\) is composed of nodes \(\mathit{N3}\) and \(\mathit{N4}\)

3.2. Characteristics of modeling#

Modeling:

MO= AFFE_MODELE (MAILLAGE =MA,

AFFE =_F (TOUT =” OUI “, PHENOMENE =” MECANIQUE”,

MODELISATION =” DKT “,),

)

Boundary conditions:

BLOCAGE = AFFE_CHAR_MECA (MODELE =MO,

DDL_IMPO =_F (GROUP_NO =” ENC “,

DX=0.0, DY=0.0, DZ=0.0, DRX =0.0, =0.0, DRY =0.0, DRZ =0.0,),

)

Mechanical loading:

CHARGE = AFFE_CHAR_MECA (MODELE =MO,

FORCE_NODALE =_F (GROUP_NO =” CHA “, FX=0, FX=0, FZ=-100. ),

)

Assignment of the characteristics of the elements:

PLAQUE = AFFE_CARA_ELEM (MODELE =MO,

COQUE =_F (GROUP_MA =( “PLA”), EPAIS = 0.5, COQUE_NCOU = 4,),

)
