Static analysis of a shell construction

[ .... under construction .... ]

This contribution is in close cooperation with Bridge.

In this example the following items are discussed:

• preproccesing:
• definition of geometry in Salome
• partitioning of the geometry and groups
• meshing of the geometry
• definition of the groups
• (maybe: python script which makes editing much easier ...)

• static analysis with pressure or force applied on a group or nodes

• postprocessing:
• viewing displacement in Salome
• determination of stresses

• interface ASTK

Definition of the geometry

planar shell

Partitioning of the geometry

why: we need groups for loads and boundary conditions
how: we define planes

Meshing

how
tria -quad?
linear vs quadratic elements
