4. Summary of results

The results obtained are excellent. The values calculated by*Aster* are the same as the reference values. This is a « normally expected » result since the solution field, which is linear, belongs to the interpolation space of the element under test.

This test allowed the following commands to be tested:

• DEFI_NAPPE allowing you to define a variation in the outside temperature as a function of the abscissa \(x\) and the ordinate \(y\),

• DEFI_MATERIAU associated with the keyword THER_ORTH, making it possible to define the characteristics of an orthotropic material,

• AFFE_CARA_ELEM associated with the MASSIF keyword, allowing to define orthotropy axes.
