4. B modeling#
4.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The structure is entirely modelled by quadratic volume elements (PENTA15 and HEXA20). It is supported at both ends.
DYNA_LINE_TRAN calculate the dynamic response of the structure for 3 s, due to a nodal force of a value equal to 100 N on the 3D mesh node located at \(Z=\mathrm{0,02}m\).
