Description
SUCHA elements are 3D surface-type elements used to define the application of an evenly distributed pressure (i.e., stress) over a bidimensional surface. This is particularly useful when conducting creep test simulations, where the axial force is held constant over time.
How to initialize in GMSH
The physical group where the SUCHA elements are contained must be named as:
SUCHA01x123y-0.2e-3z1.55
where:
| SUCHA |
|---|
| Is the standard element type name |
| 01 |
| Is the number of the element type group; different SUCHA groups can be created as SUCHA01, SUCHA02, .. |
| x123y-0.2e-3z1.55 |
| Indicates a point (x,y,z) located inside the surface. The coordinates of the point are defined by the letters of the corresponding axes followed by the position in the axis. The numbers can be of any real type and of any length. This point is used to indicate the desired direction of the normal vectors across all SUCHA elements. The direction is later verified while writing the *.lag file, and the order of the nodes is modified if necessary, according to the user input. An example of the verification algorithm is provided in FIGUREXXX below. |
