TPLP01 - Field in L with singularity
geometrical




Summary:


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

It is about a problem plane 2D presenting two modelings, one planes, the second voluminal one.

The objective is to validate, in the presence of a geometrical singularity, the plane thermal elements and 3D with
for boundary condition an imposed temperature.

The results are compared with those provided by VPCS.

Summary of the results
Two modelings give results whose certain values exceed the fixed tolerance
initially (1%):
·
for modeling A (PLANE with meshs QUAD8), the maximum change is 1.19%
(going beyond for only one value out of the 13 tested),
·
for modeling B (3D with meshs HEXA8), the maximum change is 2.7%
(going beyond for two values out of 26 tested).
The modeling of the geometrical singularity (presence of an important heat gradient close to
singularity) is represented better with quadratic elements (modeling A).
For two modelings, the precision should be improved by using a finer mesh
(more important refinement in the area of the geometrical singularity).
The results are regarded as acceptable taking into account modelings carried out.
