4. B modeling#

4.1. Characteristics of modeling#

We use modeling COQUE_SOLIDE.

4.2. Characteristics of the mesh and the finite element model#

The mesh consists of 3720 knots and 1800 HEXA9sur hexahedral meshes, which are assigned COQUE_SOLIDE elements.

4.3. Tested sizes and results#

Natural frequencies \((\mathrm{Hz})\)

Only frequencies and modes with an effective mass greater than \(\text{0.1\%}\) are shown in the table below.

These four modes make it possible to obtain a good representation of the mass in the direction of excitation since the cumulative effective masses in the directions \(x\) and \(y\) amount to \(\text{83.2\%}\).
