4. B modeling#

4.1. Characteristics of modeling and meshing#

The mesh is identical to modeling A. On the other hand, the tension calculation is carried out in 2 steps.

  • In the first, the tension is calculated by taking into account only the losses due to friction and anchor recoil. The tension is then carried out using CALC_PRECONT, in two steps to recover the elastic losses: the tension of the odd cables at first and then the tension of the even cables.

  • In the second phase, the calculation of the cable tension is carried out taking into account the relaxation of the steels.

4.2. Tested sizes and results#

The component tested is the voltage in the N cables at the end of the second DEFI_CABLE_BP.
