3. Modeling A

3.1. Characteristics of modeling

The reinforced concrete plate uses Q4GG modeling while the cable is in BARRE modeling.

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh

The reinforced concrete plate is composed of 72 T3GG elements, while the cable is modeled by 6 BARRE elements.

3.3. Tested sizes and results

We test the displacement in the direction \(Z\) of the summit \({A}_{1}\). A first calculation with DYNA_NON_LINE is instrumentated by a non-regression test, which serves as a reference for the calculation carried out with Europlexus via the CALC_EUROPLEXUS macro command.

Identification	Reference type	Reference value	Tolerance
DYNA_NON_LINE - Point \({A}_{1}\) - \(\mathit{DZ}\)	“NON_REGRESSION”	-4,3214499919696. 10-4	1.10-6%
CALC_EUROPLEXUS - Point \({A}_{1}\) - \(\mathit{DZ}\)	“AUTRE_ASTER”	-4.3214499919696. 10-4	0.5%
