Modeling A
==============


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 :math:`T` in time steps equal to :math:`T/40`.


Characteristics of the mesh
