6. D modeling#

6.1. Characteristics of modeling#

We use a MEMBRANE modeling in large deformations (DEFORMATION =” GROT_GDEP “) with the Neo-Hookian law of behavior (RELATION =” ELAS_MEMBRANE_NH”). Linear elements are used.

6.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh is the same as for modeling A.

6.3. Tested sizes and results#

The pressure applied during loading is tested.

6.4. notes#

We used on-the-go piloting (SUIV_PILO) to achieve convergence. The Neo-Hookian law of behavior reveals a snap-through at around 1.4kPa. This leads to strong non-linearities around this value that can be overcome by controlling the follower pressure.

The mesh is approximately 2 times coarser than that of the reference and the meshes are linear and not quadratic. This explains the differences observed compared to the reference solution for this modeling.
