3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh consists of multi-fiber beam elements that model a pipe. The sub-points of the beam elements are defined in such a way as to correspond to the position of the sub-points of the pipe elements that will be used in the B model.

This test allows:

  • to check the position of the sub-points. The positions are given explicitly in the command file.

  • to check the values of SIXX at all sub-points.

  • by comparison with modeling B, to verify the orientations and the positions of the sub-points.

3.2. Tested sizes and results#
