\(\text{DDL}\) case:
\(\mathrm{UIm}=\mathrm{VIm}=\mathrm{WIm}=0(m=\mathrm{2,3})\)
\(\mathrm{UOm}=\mathrm{VOm}=\mathrm{WOm}=0(m=\mathrm{2,3})\)
\(\mathrm{WI1}=\mathrm{WO1}=\mathrm{WO}=0\)

4.4. note#
The results obtained with*Code_Aster* are similar to those of \(\text{ABAQUS}\) by pipe elements except for the \(\mathrm{DY}\) displacement (natural weight and nodal force) where the difference is of the order of 10%.
