INTRODUCTION

The present text is a supplement to the User's Manual for GEFDYN Release 5.3, needed to use the new
options of release 5.4 installed in June 1992.

The new options provided in Release 5.4 include:

- the possibility of introducing all the components of a stress tensor as a surface loading in 2D only,

- Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model (MODEL=8),

- messages available in French and in English (the choice is made when installing the software).

This supplement is composed of two parts:

- an addendum to the manual

- an erratum of misprints in the manual.

p.73 / p A2-1

The following constitutive laws:

- VPMCC (MODEL=3)
- VEEPBB (MODEL=4)
- GEOMAT (MODEL=6)
- ISOGEO (MODEL=7)

are usually used for research. The User has to check that they correspond to his needs before using any of them.

p.131

The 2D and 3D mechanical or hydraulic interface elements (NPAR1=4 et 5) are obsolete. They have
been left in the documents and the software solely for reasons related to compatibility with the different previous
releases of GEFDYN. The corresponding subroutines are no longer included in the the releases existing now.

You have to use:

- mechanical or coupled mechanical-hydraulic interface elements (NPAR1=15 ou 16) to replace the

old mechanical interface elements,

- seepage interface elements (NPAR1=17 ou 18) to replace the old hydraulic interface elements.

8.15 2D SURFACE LOADING ELEMENTS NPAR (1) = 6

These elements compute the nodal forces due to a surface mechanical load (surface pressure) or fluid flow.

Surface loadings may :

- vary with space (definition of a gradient of load),
- vary with time (definition of time functions for the load at a reference point and for the
gradient of load).

Thus, the value of the applied load, i.e.

- normal pressure (JDDL=±1)

- a tensor component (JDDL=±11,±12,±13)
- fluid flow (JDDL=±2)

is defined, at a point M with coordinates (y,z) and at a time t, as follows:

p(M,t) = FAC1 * F1(t) + FAC2 * F2(t) * [ (yref-y)*grady + (zref-z)*gradz]

where yref = PTMREF(1)

zref = PTMREF(2)
grady = GRDREF(1)
gradz = GRDREF(2)
F1(t) (respectively F2(t)) is the value of the time function number NCRB1 (respectively NCRB2) at
time t

The data used in this relationship are defined in the lines that follow.

The loads are assumed positive if they are oriented along the outer normal vector to the surface element (cf.
description of the element).

One type of element is available : isoparametric line of 2 to 3 nodes

8.15.4. Definition of the Load Case of the Group

8.15.4.1 Which identify space variations of the load case

note (1)

The possible values for the variable JDDL are:

JDDL = ± 1 for a mechanical force applied normally to the surface of the element;

JDDL = ±11,±12,±13
for a surface load from a 2D stress tensor with components σyy, σzz, σyz
and equal to σ.n, in which n is the normal vector at the surface defined at the
end of Chapter 8.15.:

JDDL = ±11 corresponds to the component σyy of the stress tensor

JDDL = ±12 corresponds to the component σzz of the stress tensor

JDDL = ±13 corresponds to the component σyz of the stress tensor

JDDL = ±2 the load is a fluid flow accross the surface of the element.

notes

(1) the law can be associated (PHI=PSI) or unassociated (PHI≠PSI). Angles must be given in degrees.

(2) XEAUX and XNUUX are used to calculate the auxiliary elasticity matrix, which is used in non-linear
system analysis. In general, give XEAUX values that are equal to or greater than the values of XEI. An
increase in these values may lead to better convergence but may increase the CPU time.
