v3.01.110 SSLL110 - System of 3 U-bars under own weight

Summary:

This test allows a simple verification of gravity calculations for member elements in the mechanics of linear static structures. The model is linear.

A single modeling is used: it makes it possible to test the application of gravity on member elements, located in a coordinate system different from the direction of gravity.

The values tested are displacements, generalized efforts, and constraints.
