The Diamonds results were extensively tested. The table of contents at the bottom of this article provides an overview of all tests already published. The list will expand in the future.
Each test consists of:
- a description of the test
- the results of an independent source against which the Diamonds results were compared
- the Diamonds results
- the difference expressed in percent:
- a reference to the independent source
To organize the tests, each test is proceeded by a code according to the following principle:
- For analysis
Type of analysis Type of bahaviour Type of model No. Static S Linear L Discrete D 01 to … Dynamic D Non-lineair N Linear L Thermal T Surface S Assembly X - For loads
Scope Type of load Norm No. Loads L Snow S Eurocode
AISC
…01 to … Wind W - For design
Scope Type of material Norm No. Design D Carbon steel S Eurocode
AISC
…01 to … Stainless Steel X Concrete C Timber T
Iedere test bestaat uit (enkel beschikbaar in het Engels):
- een beschrijving van de vraagstelling (geometrie + materialen + randvoorwaarden + lasten)
- de oplossing voor de vraagstelling volgens een onafhankelijke bron. De Diamonds resultaten worden vergeleken met de resultaten van deze onafhankelijke bron
- de Diamonds resultaten
- het verschil uitgedrukt in procent.
Om de testen te organiseren, wordt iedere test vooraf gegaan door een code die volgens onderstaand principe opgesteld werd:
- Voor analyse
Type analyse Type gedrag Type model No. Statisch S Lineair L Discreet (massa-veer) D 01 tot … Dynamisch D Non-lineair N Lineair (1D) L Thermisch T Oppervlak S Samenstelling (2D en 3D) X - Voor lasten
Toepassingsgebied Type of load Norm No. Lasten L Sneeuw S Eurocode
AISC
…01 tot … Wind W - Voor dimensionering
Toepassingsgebied Type materiaal Norm No. Dimensionering D Koolstof staal S Eurocode
AISC
…01 tot … Roestvast staal X Gewapend beton C Hout T
Les résultats de Diamonds ont été largement testés. La table des matières en bas de cet article donne un aperçu de tous les tests déjà publiés (il n’est pas exclu que cette liste s’allonge dans le futur).
Chaque épreuve comprend :
- une description de l’essai (géométrie + matériaux + conditions aux limites + charges)
- les résultats d’une source indépendante avec laquelle les résultats de Diamonds ont été comparés
- les résultats en Diamonds
- la différence exprimée en pourcentage:
