* Modeling: 3D


* Type of finite elements: Hexahedron (HEXA8), dimension of :math:`\mathrm{0.05m}` for the height and :math:`\mathrm{0.04m}` for the length and a maximum of :math:`\mathrm{0.04m}` for the width.

The plate is cut into 13 elements over its width, in 100 over its length and in 4 over its thickness.

The steel frame is modelled by BARRE elements. The cable is discretized into 101 elements.


Tested sizes and results
------------------------------

We test the value of the displacement at node :math:`D` along the :math:`z` axis.

    "**Node**", "**Component**", "**Reference Value (** :math:`m` **)**", "**Precision**"
    ":math:`D` ", "DZ", ":math:`\mathrm{-}0.101677` 0.000000"," :math:`2.0E\mathrm{-}2`"


The tension in several elements of the cable is also tested.
