2. Benchmark solution

2.1. Calculation method used for the reference solution

The reference solution is the one given in the validation sheet STA. MPACO /B of the POUX code from EDF R&D [bib1], except for load case 5 where it is non-regression.

2.2. Benchmark results

Moves of points \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\).

2.3. Uncertainty about the solution

• modeling \(B\): some \(\text{\%}\) (numerical solution based on discretization).
