6.4. notes#
In this analysis, an imposed displacement type resolution technique (“DDL_IMPO”) is used to find the solution. This method provides for each imposed displacement value, a load multiplier coefficient (“ETA_PILOTAGE”). The value of the load imposed in “AFFE_CHAR_MECA” is equal to the limit pressure, therefore the reference value of the parameter “ETA_PILOTAGE” is equal to 1.
The calculations were stopped when the value of parameter ETA_PILOTAGE stabilized.
The reference being taken with respect to the beam solution with 50 elements, we observe an improvement in 3D shell results QUAD9 when the mesh is refined.
