Input file

Title (A5)
TITLE“PLANI” in columns 1 to 5
Control data (2I5, 2G10.0)
NELEM Number of elements
MDIRW Gravity direction:
0 → No gravity
± 1 → Gravity in the X direction
± 2 → Gravity in the Y direction
± 3 → Gravity in the Z direction
SPEWGVolumic weight
SPEMAVolumic mass
Definition of the elements (I5, G10.0, I5/4I5)
LMATE Material
PRESOUniform stress
MDIRLDirection of the stress
0 → No stress
± 1 → Stress in the X direction
± 2 → Stress in the Y direction
± 3 → Stress in the Z direction
NODES(4) List of nodes

Results

The mechanical Cauchy stresses are ordered as: $\sigma_x, \sigma_y, \tau_{xy}, \sigma_z$. These stresses are expressed in the local axis system:
X ⁄⁄ ξ (isoparametric axis)
Y ⊥ X in the plane of PLANI
Z ⊥ (X,Y)
