1. Reference problem

The connection between 2 shells is made using option LIAISON_MAILLE of the AFFE_CHAR_MECA command. This connection is made on 2 different meshes and models:

• For the first case, one of the shells is eccentric. The connection will take this eccentricity into account.

• For the second case, no shell will be eccentric. On the other hand, they will be arranged in such a way that their middle plane is placed in the same place as for the first case. In this case the connection will take place classically.

These 2 cases must have the same kinematic relationships.
