v4.41.300 TPNA300 - Heat generator tube with variable conductivity

Summary:

This test is the result of the independent validation of version 3 in non-linear stationary heat.

It is an axisymmetric 2D problem represented by four models, two axisymmetric, one plane and the last volume.

The features tested are as follows:

• axisymmetric thermal element,

• flat thermal element,

• volume thermal element,

• variable properties,

• limit conditions (heat source, imposed temperature).

The advantage of the test lies in taking into account variable properties and non-linear behavior.
