Modeling POU_D_T_GD

Summary:

This document describes for modeling POU_D_T_GD:

· degrees of freedom carried by the finite elements which support modeling,
· the related meshs supports,
· supported loadings,
· nonlinear possibilities,
· case-tests implementing modeling.

Modeling POU_D_T_GD corresponds to a formulation of elements of beams of fascinating Timoshenko in
count great displacements and great rotations (cf [R5.03.40]).

It is usable for problems of three-dimensional beams in isotropic mechanical analysis and in
linear elastic behavior.

1 Discretization

1.1
Degrees of freedom

The degrees of freedom are, in each node of the mesh support, the six components of displacement
(three translations and three rotations).

Assignment of the characteristics

For these elements of structures 1D, it is necessary to affect geometrical characteristics which
are complementary to the data of grid. The definition of these data is carried out with
order AFFE_CARA_ELEM associated with the key words following factors:

· POUTRE
Allows to define and affect the characteristics of the cross section.

· ORIENTATION
Allows to define and affect the principal axes of the cross sections of the elements of
beam type.

3 Loadings
supported

The loadings specific, available in AFFE_CHAR_MECA are as follows:

· “EPSI_INIT”
Allows to apply a loading of initial deformation.

· “FORCE_POUTRE”
Allows to apply linear forces.

· “PESANTEUR”
Allows to apply a loading of the gravity type.

· “TEMP_CALCULEE”
Allows to apply a thermal loading.

· “INTE_ELEC”
Allows to apply the force of LAPLACE acting on a principal conductor, due to
presence of a secondary conductor not necessarily right compared to this conductor
the main thing.

4 Possibilities
non-linear

4.1
Law of behaviors

The law of behavior specific to this modeling, usable under COMP_ELAS in
STAT_NON_LINE and DYNA_NON_LINE are relation ELAS_POUTRE_GR (Cf. [U4.51.11]).

4.2 Deformations

Only deformation “GREEN_GR” allowing to treat the beams in great displacements and in
great rotations is available (Cf. [U4.51.11]). Deformations used in the relation of
behavior are the deformations of GREEN-LAGRANGE.

Examples putting work modeling: case-test

· Non-linear statics
SSNL103A [V6.02.103]: Calculation of the static deformation in great displacements and large
rotations of a beam fixed at an end and subjected to one bending moment to the other
end.
· Non-linear dynamics
SDNL103A [V5.02.103]: Analyze response of a gantry embedded in feet and subjected to one
force dynamic applied in the middle of its span and perpendicular to its plan.
