6. D modeling#

Modeling: COQUE (TRIA7 + SEG3)

_images/Object_5.svg

6.1. Characteristics of modeling#

Because of the boundary conditions and loads, the modeling is independent of the width of the AD and BC sides (the temperature distribution is uniform along the width).

6.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

We have 43 knots in total

10 TRIA7 meshes on the average surface of the shell

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

6.4. notes#

As expected, the temperature distribution is uniform across the width. All the results obtained are clearly within the accepted tolerance range.
