v3.04.121 SSLV121 - Stretching a transverse isotropic parallelepiped under its own weight

Summary:

This structural mechanics test allows the evaluation of the movements and stresses of a parallelepiped deforming under its own weight. The material is elastic, linear, isotropic, transverse. The modeling is three-dimensional. The model is similar to test VPCS SSLV07 (but in this case the material is isotropic) and to test SSLV120 (in this case the material is orthotropic.).

The differences in the results obtained by*Aster* are between \(\text{0,00\%}\) and \(\text{0,4\%}\) from the analytically calculated reference.
