3. Modeling A#
3.1. Characteristics of modeling#
Modeling POU_D_TGM
Cutting: 8 elements in the length of the arc
3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
Number of knots: 9
Number of meshes and types: 8 SEG2
3.3. Characteristics of the cross section mesh#
Number of fibers: 49 (divided into 7 on each side)
Number of meshes and types: 49 QUA4
3.4. notes#
Element POU_D_TGM has an additional degree of freedom compared to a conventional beam element, warping in the axis of the section. We choose not to model it here by imposing \(\mathit{JG}\mathrm{=}0\) (zero warping constant) on the one hand because it is negligible (full square section) and on the other hand because the reference results we have do not take it into account.
3.5. Tested sizes and results#
Charging is applied in 60 load steps.
