Modeling A
==============

Characteristics of the mesh
----------------------------

The pipe mesh is composed of a SEG3 type mesh.


Characteristics of modeling
-----------------------------------

Model definition:

MODELE **= AFFE_MODELE (**

**MAILLAGE =** MAPOU,

**AFFE =_F (TOUT =' OUI '**, **PHENOMENE =' MECANIQUE '**,

**MODELISATION =' TUYAU_3M '**, **,**) **,

**)**

Assignment of characteristics:

• Pipe radius and thickness

• Sector number and layer number

CARA **= AFFE_CARA_ELEM (**

**MODELE =** MODELE,

**POUTRE =_F (GROUP_MA =( 'POUTRE '**, **' POUTRE0')**, **

**SECTION =' CERCLE '**, **CARA =( 'R'**, **'EP')**, **VALE =(** 10.0,1.0 **)**) **,

**TUYAU_NSEC =** 4, **TUYAU_NCOU =** 2, **)**,

**)**


Tested values and results
----------------------------

All sub-point coordinates for the 2 pipes are tested.
