OS-V: 0200 Simply-Supported Thin Square Plate
Test No. 13OptiStruct is used to investigate the repeated eigenvalues.
Figure 1. FE Model with Boundary Conditions and Loadcases
Benchmark Model
The 2nd order and 1st order quad elements are used to model the square plate of thickness 0.05m. The z-rotation and x, y translations are fixed for all the nodes, z-translation is fixed along all four edges, x-rotation is fixed along the edge x=0 and x=10 and y-rotation is fixed along the edge y=0 and y=10.
The material properties are:
- Material Properties
- Value
- Young’s Modulus
- 200 x 109 N/m2
- Poisson’s Ratio
- 0.3
- Density
- 8000 kg/m3
