The following results are for a model of the LE1 benchmark test from
National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (U.K.), also known as NAFEMS(1).
Reduced integration elements for ANSYS as well as published ABAQUS results are provided
for comparison purposes.

Results
* The ABAQUS results were published in the Abaqus Benchmarks Manual(2) and neither
the model nor the results have been verified.
The ANSYS (v10.0), Tahoe (v2.1) and CalculiX (v1.5) results were obtained from the same geometry
mesh and boundary conditions with analogous elements.
The target vertical component of stress at the lower inside corner is: 92.7 MPa.
