4. C modeling

4.1. Characteristics of modeling

Number of knots: 552.

3D modeling: 2269 tetrahedral volume elements: TETRA4.

The families of sliding systems are of the octahedral type. The structure contains 10 grains generated by a Python procedure based on Voronoi cells. Each of the grains corresponds to 3 Euler angles which define the orientations of the sliding systems.

4.2. Tested sizes and results

Comparison of the results obtained with*Code_Aster* at the last calculated moment.
