TPLV07 - Cubic orthotropic




Summary:

This test results from the validation independent of version 3 in linear stationary thermics.

It validates the voluminal thermal elements under conditions of imposed flow, of convection but also of
linear variation of the outside air temperature.

The results are compared with an analytical solution (VPCS).

Summary of the results
The results obtained are excellent. The computed values by Aster are identical to the values of
reference. That is “a normally awaited” result since the field solution which is linear
belongs to the space of interpolation of the element tested.
This test made it possible to test the following controls:
·
DEFI_NAPPE
allowing to define a variation in the external temperature according to
X-coordinate X and of the ordinate y,
·
DEFI_MATERIAU
associated the key word
THER_ORTH
,
allowing to define the characteristics of one
orthotropic material,
·
AFFE_CARA_ELEM
associated the key word
SOLID MASS
,
allowing to define the axes of orthotropism.
