3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

The pendulum is modelled by a cable element with 2 knots, identical to a member element with a constant cross section.

Discretizations:

  • spatial: a MECABL2 cable element

  • temporal: analysis of the movement over a complete period \(T\) in time steps equal to \(T/40\).

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of nodes:

2

Number of meshes and types:

1 mesh SEG2
