v3.03.020 SSLS20 - Pinched cylindrical shell with free edges

Summary:

The test from guide VPCS makes it possible to verify the effect of a point load on a thin cylindrical shell with linear elasticity. The arrows at the point of application of the load are compared with a modeling of the thin cylindrical shell in elements DKT, two models COQUE_3D (1/8 cylinder is represented) and the elements COQUE_SOLIDE.
