SSLS108 - Helicoid hull under load
concentrated




Summary:

This test in linear elasticity is very severe from its geometry (left hull). Two first
modelings correspond one to the element of QUAD of modeling COQUE_3D (MEC3QU9H) and
the other with element TRI7 of modeling COQUE_3D (MEC3TR7H). The two following ones relate to
modeling SHB8.

The values of reference are computation results provided in the literature and the comparison
calculation/reference relates to displacement in a point of the structure. One notes variations compared to
reference lower than 0.15% for element MEC3QU9H and lower than 0.4% for element MEC3TR7H.
For modelings SHB8, the stupid maximum changes of 1.4% with 24 elements SHB8 (modeling C) and
0.3% with 96 SHB8 (modeling D).

11 Summary of the results
This test is very severe because of geometry of the hull which is left.
Good solutions are obtained for four modelings.
