v3.03.014 SSLS14 - Combination of static and seismic load cases exerted on the SMART model

Summary

The purpose of this test is to validate the operation of the POST_COMBINAISON command. The latter makes it possible to combine different physical quantities as a result of finite element calculations carried out beforehand. This command will only perform post-processing by manipulating results in the form of fields from previous calculations.

The test uses the modal analysis of the reinforced concrete building model carried out during the SMART2013 test campaign (Seismic design and best-estimate Methods Assessment of Reinforced concrete buildings subjected to Torsion and non-linear effects) conducted by CEA and EDF. This campaign focuses on the seismic study of irregular reinforced concrete buildings whose response is strongly affected by the overall torsional movements. The model represents a three-storey reinforced concrete electrical building on a 1/4 scale; it is produced using the Cauchy-Froude law of similarity (i.e. natural frequencies increased by a ratio of 2).

The test checks the results obtained during calls to the POST_COMBINAISON command in cases where sd_result data structures are to be combined.
