3. Modeling A

3.1. Characteristics of modeling

Because of the symmetry of the boundary conditions and the loads, the modeling is independent of the width of the sides \(\mathrm{AD}\) and \(\mathrm{BC}\) (the temperature distribution is uniform in the direction of the width).

Modeling: COQUE (QUAD8 + SEG3)

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh

We have 28 knots in total

5 QUAD8 stitches on the average surface of the shell

1 SEG3 stitch on the \(\mathit{BC}\) side

3.3. Tested values

3.4. notes

As expected, the temperature distribution is uniform across the width. All the results obtained are within the accepted tolerance interval which corresponds to the assumed uncertainty in the results of the graphical estimation.
