3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

We use axisymmetric modeling AXIS_DIAG (Thermal Calculation) and AXIS (Mechanical Calculation).

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Figure 3.2-2: Coarded mesh in the vicinity of the weld

The mesh contains 4041 elements of type QUAD4 and 2771 elements of type TRIA3.

3.3. Tested sizes and results#

For the thermal calculation, we test the temperature values at the node of group PHG at the end of the pass.

For mechanical calculation, the displacement and stress values smoothed at the point N11 at the end of the second pass are tested.
