2. Boundary conditions and loads#

    • Embedding the base of the cube:

Lower side: \(\mathit{DX}\mathrm{=}0\), \(\mathit{DY}\mathrm{=}0\) and \(\mathit{DZ}\mathrm{=}0\),

  • On the upper side, two types of loading are applied:

    • Imposed displacement (models A, B, C)

Top side: \(\mathit{DZ}\mathrm{=}1\)

  • Pressure imposed (modeling D)

    • Top side: \(\mathit{PRES}=\mathrm{10⁸}\)
