A few simple examples on using Salome - Code Aster platform

1. Partitioning
   With Salome it took me quite some time to find out how to define different volumes in one construction.
   In this example four different volumes by partitioning a construction are defined.

2. Use of shell (coque_3d) elements
   This contribution is an simple example of a dynamic plate modelled by shell (coqued_3d) elements.

3. Convergence of solid and shell elements
   This contribution is mainly a comparison between solids and shells (coque_3d) elements on convergence of the displacements.
   Stresses in centre and outside layers
   A small detour on how to determine the stresses at the centre and outside layers of shell elements
   Printing reaction forces and stresses in a table
   The retrieval of the the nodal forces, reaction forces and stresses into a table are discussed (for solid elements only).

4. Applying forces on line segments
   Using a simple spring construction, forces are applied on nodes, a line segment and surface

5. Plastic behaviour of a V shape construction
   The material non linear behaviour of a v shape construction with solid elements

6. Buckling behaviour of a beam
   The geometrical non linear behaviour of a beam using solid elements

7. Shell analysis
   Contribution in collaboration with Brigde.
   Concrete shell with several partition loaded by pressure.
   Extraction of displacement and stresses.
   Extraction of minimum and maximum displacements and stresses.

8. Modal analysis of an axial loaded cylinder
   The modal analysis of a construction under prestress. Also the buckling behaviour is the cylinder is given using shell coque_3d elements - frequency domain
   Contrib:KeesWouters/prestressmodal
   
9. Dynamic analysis of an axial loaded cylinder
   The dynamic analysis of a cylinder loaded by an axial force with coque_3d elements. Geometry based on the cylinder under prestress - time domain

10. The connection between shell and solid elements
    To establish a connection between shell and solid elements the Arlequin method can be used.
    A comparison with a solution using nodes on a solid region between shell and solid elements is given
    Contrib:KeesWouters/shellsolid
    
11. The stresses of an assembly of shells and volumes
    Based on the previous contribution the element and equivalent stresses are determined

12. Mesh refinement - Homard
    Mesh refinement by using the macro MACR_ADAP_MAIL.
