C modeling
==============


Characteristics of modeling
-----------------------------------

A cross section of the cylinder is modelled in 2D volume elements, considering the hypothesis of plane deformations.

Characteristics of the mesh
----------------------------

The cylinder is represented by a regular mesh of quadratic elements with 8 nodes containing:


* 8 elements;


* 40 knots.

The mesh contains 1 single cut in the radial direction and 8 cuts in the vertical direction (like 3D).

    ":math:`{U}_{X}` in :math:`\mathrm{P2}` ", "1", "0.44203108"



notes
---------

Performance modeling very similar to 3D because the same circumferential and radial discretizations are the same.
