2. Reference solution#

2.1. Benchmark experimental results#

Reference experimental results are available for this test case; these are the results from two series of trials from the ANL campaign [bib3].

2.2. Calculation method used for the reference solution#

See reference [bib1].

2.3. Benchmark results#

After validating the calculation by comparing its results to the experimental reference results from the test campaign, the results of the calculation are assigned the status of reference values in order to be able to verify the non-regression of the code during future reconstructions. These reference values are valid as of version NEW 5.03.10 of*Code_Aster*.

2.4. Uncertainty about the solution#

The relative differences allowed in the calculated values are very small so that the test case is also used to ensure the future non-regression of the software during future renderings.
