Modeling A
==============


Characteristics of modeling
-----------------------------------


Simulation 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a thermomechanical test with zero imposed deformation along the local :math:`x` axis. The test is performed on an element of BARRE with the STAT_NON_LINE command. The temperature varies from :math:`{T}_{0}=20` to :math:`{T}_{\mathrm{max}}=500°C`. The transition consists of NCAL steps.

The reference temperature is :math:`{T}_{\mathrm{ref}}=20°C`.


Simulation 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's about looping on NCALcalculs mechanics. For each calculation :math:`i`, the imposed load consists of the thermal deformation :math:`{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{xx}}=-{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{th}}=-\alpha (T)({T}_{i}-{T}_{\mathrm{Ref}})`. The initial load consists of the deformations, stresses (normal force) and internal variables from the previous mechanical calculation.


Material properties
----------------------

The law of behavior tested is' ELAS '. This law is elastic.

The elastic parameters are as follows:

:math:`E(T)`, :math:`\nu (T)`, and :math:`\alpha (T)`

Values of the parameters used:

    ":math:`\alpha (T)` "," :math:`1.E-5` :math:`{K}^{-1}` "," :math:`2.E-5` :math:`{K}^{-1}`"



Tested sizes and results
------------------------------

Validation is carried out by comparing the fields calculated at each step of the transient on the one hand and the result of a mechanical calculation on the other hand.

The command used is TEST_TABLE which tests the reference value against the calculated value.

The reference value being the field component extracted at a given time :math:`i` from the first thermo-mechanical simulation performed over NCAL times. The calculated value is the one obtained at the end of the mechanical calculation :math:`i+1` of the loop on the NCAL.
