3. Modeling A

3.1. Characteristics of modeling

Elements \(\mathrm{3D}\) (PENTA6 and HEXA8) (from mesh \(\mathrm{2D}\) below).

along the \(Z\) axis: 2 layers of elements total thickness: 0.01

Boundary conditions:

	DDL_IMPO:	(All: “yes”	Dz: 0.)
face \(\mathrm{AB}\)		(group_no.Bordab	Dy: 0.)
face \(\mathrm{EF}\)	FACE_IMPO:	(group_ma:faceef	Dnor: 0.)
press on the face \(\mathrm{AE}\)	PRES_REP:		(group_MA:faceAE	Press: -1.)

Node names:

A=No1

B=No119

B=No119

C=No36

D=No166

E=No41

F=No171

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh

Number of knots: 513

Number of meshes and types: 400 PENTA6100 HEXA840 QUAD4

3.3. notes

Pressure has a negative sign (instead of positive) because the faces of the \(\mathrm{3D}\) elements are misoriented.

3.5. notes

The mesh is insufficient for linear elements.
