3D Beam modelling

Hoi Torben

Apparently you need to add CARA_ELEM statement in the MECA_STATIQUE part:


BeamSolu=MECA_STATIQUE(MODELE=BeamMod,
CHAM_MATER=BeamMat,
CARA_ELEM=Beam123, # add this statement
EXCIT=_F(CHARGE=loads,),);

Code Aster complains if you submit more than one argument to the CARA_ELEM statement, so I joined your Beam_1, Beam_2 and Beam_3 to one: Beam123:

[code:1]
Beam123=AFFE_CARA_ELEM(MODELE=BeamMod,
POUTRE=(_F(GROUP_MA='Edge_1',
SECTION='RECTANGLE',
CARA=('HY','HZ','EP',),
VALE=(0.1,0.05,0.005,),),
_F(GROUP_MA='Edge_2',
SECTION='RECTANGLE',
CARA=('HY','HZ','EP',),
VALE=(0.1,0.05,0.005,),),
_F(GROUP_MA='Edge_3',
SECTION='RECTANGLE',
CARA=('HY','HZ','EP',),
VALE=(0.1,0.05,0.005,),),),
ORIENTATION=(_F(GROUP_MA='Edge_2',
CARA='VECT_Y',
VALE=(0.0,1.0,0.0,),),
_F(GROUP_MA='Edge_1',
CARA='VECT_Y',
VALE=(-1.0,0.0,0.0,),),
_F(GROUP_MA='Edge_3',
CARA='VECT_Y',
VALE=(1.0,0.0,0.0,),),),);
[/code:1]


Then C-Aster runs. But you may need to check the results and see whether Beam123-data is correct.

I got the hint from Emmanuel:

The complete modified comm file is (was) uploaded (and gone now).
