3. Modeling A

3.1. Characteristics of modeling

The characteristics used and the mesh are those deduced from the data in [§1].

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh

The mesh provided to*Code_Aster* contains SEG2 meshes to model the building structure with beam elements and QUAD4, TRIA3 meshes to model the foundation with DKT elements. It is important to have oriented the surface elements of the foundation with normal entering the ground. The lateral wall meshes representing the depression are generated by the same vertical generator as required by MISS3D.
