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 =** MAIL,

**AFFE =_F (GROUP_MA =' TUBE '**, **PHENOMENE =' MECANIQUE '**,

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

**)**

Assignment of characteristics:

• Radius and thickness of the pipe

• Sector number and layer number

CARA **= AFFE_CARA_ELEM (**

**MODELE =** MODELE,

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

**SECTION =' CERCLE '**, **CARA =( 'R'**, **'EP')**, **VALE =( 0.5**, **0.2)**, **0.2)**,

**TUYAU_NSEC =** **8**, **TUYAU_NCOU =** **3**, **)**, **)**,

**)**


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

All values assigned to the sub-points are tested.

An extraction is performed at a particular point using a POST_CHAMP and recorded in a table using CREA_TABLE. The value of all components is tested including the coordinates.
