Great Deflection Beam was created by Christian

Hi all,

I'm trying to model a beam with great deflections. The beam is exposed to a force at its tip. The simulation with 'normal' deflection gives good results compared to the theory. Now my question is, how to set up the STAT_NON_LINE solver to get the great deflection soltuion. Apparently the settings for the COMPORTMENT are crucial.

Thanks for your help!

You probably have to use deformation -> 'grot_gdep' or is it called 'Green' now? I can't remember and the Code_Aster site is down.

Are you simulating a 1D, 2D or 3D model? If you are in 1D you should look a the beam formulations and find one that suits great deformation and rotation. POU_D_something.

Okay, so grot_gdep (that's how it is still called) is the way to do it. So I need to find the right material properties for the 3D benchmarks. Thanks man!

I'm now trying to perfom my simulation with the simplest setup and I'm using the following solver settings:

RESOL_NL=STAT_NON_LINE(MODELE=hexaQ,
                       CHAM_MATER=MATE1,
                       EXCIT=(_F(CHARGE=char1,),
                              _F(CHARGE=load1,),),
                       COMPORTEMENT=_F(RELATION='ELAS',
                                    DEFORMATION='GROT_GDEP',),
                       INCREMENT=_F(LIST_INST=ListInst,),
                       NEWTON=_F(PREDICTION='TANGENTE',
                                 REAC_ITER=0,),
                       CONVERGENCE=_F(RESI_GLOB_MAXI=1e-4,
                                      RESI_GLOB_RELA=1e-4,
                                      ITER_GLOB_MAXI=10,),
                       ARCHIVAGE=_F(LIST_INST=Archive,),);

Therefor I set my material properties to:

stiff=DEFI_MATERIAU(ELAS=_F(E=207000, #MPa
                            NU=0,
                            RHO=2.713e-9,),); #T/mm3

Compared to the CA test cases this should work out. However I get the following error message:

! <S> Exception utilisateur levee mais pas interceptee. !
   ! Les bases sont fermees.                               !
   ! Type de l'exception : error                           !
   !                                                       !
   ! Erreur numérique (floating point exception).          !

Does anyone see the error?
Thanks!

Two quick questions:
- do you ramp your load, or apply the full load instantly?
- d0 you use automatic timestepping?

I apply the load instantly and I define my time-steps in this manner:

ListReel=DEFI_LIST_REEL(DEBUT=0,
                        INTERVALLE=_F(JUSQU_A=10,
                                      PAS=0.1,),);


ListInst=DEFI_LIST_INST(DEFI_LIST=_F(METHODE='MANUEL',
                                     LIST_INST=ListReel,),
                        ECHEC=_F(EVENEMENT='ERREUR',
                                 SUBD_PAS=5,
                                 SUBD_NIVEAU=4,),);
