v3.03.502 SSLS502 - Orthotropic cylinder subject to a load line

Summary:

This test represents the quasi-static calculation of a short orthotropic cylinder and a long orthotropic cylinder subjected to a load line. At their ends, the cylinders rest on rigid diaphragms. This test case makes it possible to validate the modeling of finite elements DST with the TRIA3 and QUAD4 meshes, with a homogeneous orthotropic material.

The movements and the forces obtained are compared to an experimental reference solution as well as to an analytical solution.
