v2.04.131 SDLV131 - Simulation of a strain gauge using the OBSERVATION command

Summary:

This test validates the operation of calculating the average value of a deformation field on an entity given by the user. The deformation field that a strain gauge would have measured is thus estimated. This calculation is carried out via the macro-command OBSERVATION. The case treated is a beam under simple tension modelled by solid elements.

This test case also validates the observation of mixed fields: a single call to the OBSERVATION command to identify fields of different types (DEPL, VITE,…).
