v1.02.013 PERFE03 — Non-regression of the aggregate-type calculation of the PERFECT platform

Summary:

This test validates the commands used by module AGREGAT of the PERFECT platform, which makes it possible to simulate the effects of irradiation on the reactor component. We are interested here in tank steel.

We consider a volume element to which an imposed deformation is applied. The material consists of an aggregate comprising 300 monocrystalline grains, in a representative elementary volume.

Modeling A tests the average stresses and deformations obtained for an imposed deformation of \(\text{0.18\%}\).
