3. Modeling A#
3.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The modeling is shown in the figure below:

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
The dimensions of the geometry:
\(L_x = L_y = 2.0~cm\).
\(e_x = e_y = 0.5~cm\).
All nodes are at \(z=0\), except for nodes 2 and 8 which are at the same coordinates \(x\) and \(y\) as nodes 1 and 7, but at \(z=-0.02~cm\).
The mesh consists only of discrete ones:
« DIS_T_D_N » are affected on nodes 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12.
a « DIS_T_D_L » is assigned between the nodes (6, 10).
« DIS_TR_D_L » are assigned between nodes (1, 2) and (7, 8).
3.3. Mechanical characteristics#
The only characteristics are for discrete elements. These characteristics are not physical, they only serve to give a certain stiffness to the system.
3.4. Loads#
