14. R modeling#
14.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The modeling is 3D, only the edge of the frame is represented.
14.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of knots: 792
Number of meshes and types: 320 HEXA8 for the plate and 32 QUAD4 for the frame.

14.4. notes#
The results obtained are close to the external source to within 5% (code mean). The linear solver has no influence on the results.
This modeling validates in 3D the exclusion of knots only from the resolution of friction in continuous formulation.
