.. _V6.05.501: **v6.05.501** SSNS501 - Large movements of a simply supported cylindrical panel ========================================================================================= **Summary:** This test represents a calculation of the stability of a simply supported cylindrical panel subjected to an effort concentrated at its center. The behavior of the panel changes completely and clearly shows "snap-through/snap-back" charging and moving return points. In this case, control in displacement diverges and control in arc length must be chosen. It makes it possible to validate finite element modeling COQUE_3D with cells TRIA7 and QUAD9 and DKT with cells TRIA3 in the semi-static non-linear geometric domain in the presence of strong instabilities. The movements and the critical load are compared to a numerical reference solution. .. toctree:: :hidden: self .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: Probl_me_de_r_f_rence Solution_de_r_f_rence Mod_lisation_A Mod_lisation_B Mod_lisation_C Synth_se_des_r_sultats
