17. Y modeling#
17.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The modeling is 3D, only the edge of the frame is represented.
17.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of knots: 792
Number of meshes and types: 320 HEXA8 for the plate and 32 QUAD4 for the frame.
17.3. Tested sizes and results#
First calculation (formulation “CONTINUE”, solver “MULT_FRONT”, algorithm “PENALISATION”).

17.4. notes#
The results obtained are close to the external source to within 5% (code mean). Choosing the right penalty coefficient is essential to have a good quality of solution.
