8. F modeling

Validation of joint \(\mathrm{3D}\) with the JOINT_MECA_FROT law

8.1. Characteristics of modeling

3D modeling for the elastic element.

3D modeling_ JOINT for the joint element

8.2. Characteristics of the mesh

Number of knots: 9

The elastic element is a PENTA6.

The joint element is a degenerate PENTA6 (knots combined).

8.3. Tested sizes and results

Mixed Mode \(I\) , \(\mathit{II}\) , \(\mathit{III}\)

We only do non-regression tests, by mixing the loading modes. The same load is applied as in D modeling, but the load in the third direction is added.
