v6.05.108 SSNS108 — Simulation of test SAFE by progressive thrust

Summary:

This test represents a simplified modeling of a study SAFE (Weakly Slender Armed Structures) under monotonous static loading of the progressive thrust type (« pushover »). Its objective is to validate calculation option DEBORST under NEWTON.

This test is delicate because it considers a poorly posed problem, without a single solution, due to material softening linked to the damage.
