3. Modeling A

3.1. Characteristics of modeling A

Figure 3.1 Meshing the geometry of the problem.

The beam is divided into two equal parts. Each half is represented by a substructure. These are generated using the Mac-Neal method.

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh

Number of knots: 557

Number of meshes and types: 80 HEXA20, 20 QUAD8

3.3. Tested sizes and results
