FORMA08 - Travaux practice Post-processing 3D

Summary:

This test corresponds to the TP 3D of the formation to the post processing using Code_Aster (postprocessing of one
calculation of piping bent in 3D).

This TP is the continuation of the TP of the basic training Aster included in the case test forma01c describes in
documentation of validation [V7.15.100].

It is about a bent piping made up of a linear elastic material. One considers only one case of
loading (force applied at the end of the elbow).

In this T.P, one is interested in the operators of post following processing:

· Operators allowing to define groups of entities of the type grid (DEFI_GROUP for
definition and the handling of groups of nodes and meshs, MODI_MAILLAGE for
reorientation of the elements of face subjected to a pressure).
· Total operators allowing to enrich the concepts results (CALC_ELEM for calculation of
fields with the elements, CALC_NO for the calculation of the fields to the nodes).
· Impressions (IMPR_RESU for the impression of the results to formats RESULTAT, IDEAS, GIBI)
· Localized examinations (POST_RELEVE_T for the statement of values on lines or groups
nodes and calculation of derived quantities).
· Layout of curve (IMPR_COURBE for the visualization of the evolution of a size according to
time or of space).

1.2
Material properties

Isotropic linear elastic material. the properties of material are those of A42 steel:

· the Young modulus E = 204.000. 10+6 NR/m2,
· the Poisson's ratio = 0.3,
· the thermal dilation coefficient =10.92 10­6/°C.

1.3
Boundary conditions and loadings

A condition of embedding is applied to section A,

The loading applied is a constant force FY = 100.000 NR directed according to the axis Y and applied to
the section B.

1.4
Reference solution

The reference solution is obtained numerically, it thus acts of a test of nonregression.

2.1
Characteristics of modeling

The right pipes and the elbow are modelled by isoparametric solid elements
quadratic. Piping presents a symmetry plane Z=0. Only one half volume is netted.

One considers the loading case according to:

· An effort FY directed according to the axis Y, applied to the section B,

Piping is embedded in its base (Ae1, Ai1, Ae2, Ai2), on all the nodes located in the plan
of Y=0 equation.

5 Synthesis

This case test, redundant as regards calculation with modeling C of the case test FORMA01, has for
objective to ensure that the command files of the TP of the formation “post processing” follow them
evolutions of syntax of the code.
