v6.02.504 SSNL504 — Assembly skeleton element

Summary:

This test makes it possible to validate the assembly skeleton element described using multi-fiber beams.

A first calculation is carried out using a mesh of ten beams, where boundary conditions equivalent to the kinematics of the assembly are applied as well as an imposed moving load. This solution is considered to be the reference one. Then, a second calculation is carried out where the skeleton element describing ten sub-beams composing an assembly of guide tubes is used on a single mesh.
