Benchmark FV52

Simply supported 'solid' square plate

The following results are for a model of the FV52 benchmark test from National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (U.K.), also known as NAFEMS⁽¹⁾. ANSYS as well as published RADIOSS results are provided for comparison purposes.

The CalculiX model and results for this benchmark were contributed by an anonymous user. Thank you!

Results

The ANSYS (v10.0), and CalculiX (v2.0) results were obtained from the same geometry mesh and boundary conditions with analogous elements.

The RADIOSS results were from online documentation published by Altair.
