2. Interpreting the results

The aim is to verify with TEST_TABLE that the result obtained at each moment of the thermo-mechanical transition of the first simulation is identical to the result obtained with the second simulation.

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 reference value being the field component extracted at a given time \(i\) from the first thermomechanical simulation performed over NCAL times. The calculated value is the one obtained at the end of the mechanical calculation \(i+1\) of the loop on the NCAL.
