TPLP02 - Orthotropic square




Summary:

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

It is about a problem plane 2D represented by only one modeling (plane).

The functionalities tested are the use of plane thermal elements, of an orthotropic material, three
limiting types of conditions:
- convection
-
linear variation of the outside air temperatures,
- flow
imposed.

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_FONCTION
associated the operand
NOM_PARA
, allowing to define a variation of
outside air temperature according to the X-coordinate or of the ordinate,
·
DEFI_MATERIAU
associated the key word
THER_ORTH
,
allowing to define the characteristics
of an orthotropic material,
·
AFFE_CARA_ELEM
associated the key word
SOLID MASS
,
allowing to define the axes of orthotropism.
