6. D modeling#
6.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The mesh method of operator PROPA_FISS is used to propagate the crack.
6.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
The mesh is the same as that of modeling A.
6.3. Tested sizes and results#
First of all, we test the number of pieces that make up the bottom of the crack at each propagation step:
No propagation |
Reference type |
Reference value |
1 |
“ANALYTIQUE” |
4 |
2 |
“ANALYTIQUE” |
1 |
The position of the bottom of the crack is also tested at each propagation step, which can be done by verifying the maximum value of the y coordinate of the bottom points:
No propagation |
Reference type |
Reference value |
1 |
“ANALYTIQUE” |
16.0 |
2 |
“ANALYTIQUE” |
28.0 |
