SLS 11: Plate under perpendicular shear

Description

Material Modulus of elasticity E = 10 N/mm^2
Poisson’s ratio \nu= 0.25
Geometry Cross-section Thickness e=5 mm
Boundary conditions Along line AA Fixed
Loads In point B F=1N 1
In point C F=-1N 1
Mesh Maximum element size 0.10m
Minimum element size 0.00m

1. Diamonds doesn’t allow the definition of point loads of 1N (value is too small). As a work-around, you can add 10N and use the scaling function for the loads with a factor of 0.1 to make it 1N.
