1.3. Material properties#

Not applicable.

1.4. Boundary conditions and loads#

For models A, B, C the nodes 1, 3, 2, 2, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 5, 6, 7 are translationally locked in the directions \(X\), \(Y\), \(Z\). A non-zero displacement is imposed on nodes 12, 13, 16, 16, 16, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 14, 17, 19, 18, 20 in the directions \(X\), \(Y\), \(Z\).

For the d, e, f models the nodes 1, 3, 2 are blocked in translation and in rotation in the directions \(X\), \(Y\), \(Z\). A non-zero displacement is imposed on nodes 5, 6, 7.

1.5. Initial conditions#

Not applicable for static analysis.
