v3.03.120 SSLS120 - Thin cylindrical shell under hydrostatic pressure

Summary:

This test represents a static calculation of a thin cylindrical tank filled with water. It makes it possible to validate the correct consideration of pressures as a function of geometry, as well as orthotropic elastic materials. 6 finite element models are used: AXIS, COQUE_3D with cells QUAD9, COQUE_3D with meshes TRIA7, and DKT with meshes, and with meshes QUAD4, and with meshes, 3D with meshes HEXA20 and D_ PLAN with QUAD8 meshes. The movements and the constraints obtained are compared to an analytical reference solution.
