2. Benchmark solutions#

2.1. Calculation method#

The reference solution is calculated with Code_Aster using the « classical » Newton-Raphson algorithm.

2.2. Reference quantities and results#

The reference result is the force-displacement curve obtained with the iterative Newton-Raphson method. Force values are compared at different loading levels.

2.3. Uncertainty about the solution#

Comparison of two solutions obtained with Code_Aster. Since method IMPLEX is by definition approximate, we will have a deviation from the Newton solution (but which must remain small).

2.4. Bibliographical references#
