2. Benchmark solution#

2.1. Calculation method used for the reference solution#

The reference solutions selected to verify Code_Aster models are as follows:

  • for POUTRE models: comparison with the codes: \(\text{POUX}\), \(\text{ADL}\) and \(\text{TITUS-T}\) [1], using beam-type modeling,

for TUYAU models: comparison with the :math:`text{ABAQUS}` code, using pipe-type modeling. The Fourier mode number (:math:`M`) used when calculating the reference is the same as that used when calculating with*Code_Aster.

  • for beam models, a moment equivalent to point \(T1\) is also defined as \({M}_{\mathit{eq}}=\sqrt{({\mathit{MT}}^{2}+{\mathit{MFY}}^{2}+{\mathit{MFZ}}^{2})}\). The reference value is that obtained by hand with the results of modeling A (reference AUTRE_ASTER).
