ProductsAbaqus/Standard Elements testedSAX1 SAX2 SAXA11 SAXA21 Problem descriptionMesh:A coarse and a fine mesh are tested for each element. Material:Linear elastic, Young's modulus = 210 GPa, Poisson's ratio = 0.3. Boundary conditions:At point B, . Loading:Uniform internal pressure of 1 MPa. General:Gauss integration is used for the shell cross-section for the SAXA11 elements. Reference solutionThis is a test recommended by the National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (U.K.): Test LE4 from NAFEMS publication TNSB, Rev. 3, “The Standard NAFEMS Benchmarks,” October 1990. Target solution: On the midsurface at point K the meridional stress, , is −50.0 MPa and the hoop stress, , is 50.0 MPa. Results and discussionThe results are shown in the following table. The values enclosed in parentheses are percentage differences with respect to the reference solution.
