4. B modeling#
4.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The modeling is D_ PLAN, only the edge of the frame is represented. Two calculations are performed with different pairing options, contact algorithms, and linear solvers.
4.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of knots: 558
Number of meshes and types: 160 QUAD8 for the plate and 1 SEG3 for the frame.

4.4. notes#
The results obtained are close to the external source to within 5% (code mean). The linear solver has no influence on the results.
The calculation without geometric updating validates the hypothesis of small slips here.
