4. B modeling

4.1. Characteristics of modeling

The finite elements affected on the mesh cells are those from the D_ PLAN, COQUE_AXIS, 3D and POU_D_E models.

• 2D nodes have degrees of freedom \(\mathrm{DX}\), \(\mathrm{DY}\)

(+ \(\mathrm{DRZ}\) for \(B\) and \(\mathrm{E1}\)),

• 3D knots have degrees of freedom \(\mathrm{DX}\), \(\mathrm{DY}\), \(\mathrm{DZ}\)

(+ \(\mathrm{DRX}\), \(\mathrm{DRY}\), \(\mathrm{DRZ}\) for \(I\), \(N\), and \(\mathrm{Q1}\)).

4.2. Characteristics of the mesh

Number of knots: 21

Number of meshes and types: 1 QUAD4, 1 HEXA8, 10 SEG2
