Linear elasticity solver in 2D
Posted: 04 Apr 2011, 15:49
Dear Elmer users & developers,
I would like to ask what is the default mode in which the 2D linear elasticity solver works. If I understand it correctly, the solver is in plane strain 'mode' by default and to perform plane stress computation, I need to set
Can you please confirm this (or, if I'm wrong, tell me how to set up a plane strain test case)?
The manual also says that for boundary conditions, either displacement or force can be applied. In this case, I suppose that force is in [N]. How can I apply pressure/stress on the body of my model?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Martin Vymazal

Code: Select all
Plane Stress = Logical True
