1. Reference problem#
1.1. Geometry#
Consider a square and a discrete element with the following coordinates.

1.2. Material properties#
\(E\mathrm{=}\mathrm{4000000MPa}\) |
Young’s module |
\(\nu \mathrm{=}0\) |
Poisson’s ratio |
1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#
The nodes in the square with coordinates \((\mathrm{0,0}\mathrm{,0})\) and \((\mathrm{100,0}\mathrm{,0})\) are locked next \(\mathit{DX}\), \(\mathit{DY}\).
The node in the coordinate square \((\mathrm{60,50}\mathrm{,0})\) is stuck next \(\mathit{DY}\).
The node in the \((\mathrm{60,50}\mathrm{,0})\) coordinate cube is subject to a \(\mathit{FX}\mathrm{=}100\) nodal force.
1.4. Initial conditions#
