2. Benchmark solution

2.1. Calculation method used for the reference solution

The reference solution was obtained with the operator MECA_STATIQUE (MULT_FRONT and METIS).

2.2. Reference quantities and results

The reference quantity used is the displacement along the \(z\) axis at node \(C\).

Move to point \(C\): \(\mathrm{DZ}=-\mathrm{41,6}E-3m\).
