v3.01.400 SSLL400 - Beam of variable cross section, subject to ad hoc or distributed forces

Summary:

This test is the result of the independent validation of version 4 of the beam models.

This test allows the verification of straight beam calculations in the linear static domain. (a modeling with elements of beams POU_D_E, right beam of EULER).

Three beams with different sections are simultaneously calculated: circle, rectangle, and general section. These beams are subjected to ad hoc or distributed forces.

The values tested are displacements and rotations, generalized forces, and stresses.
