Non adequation between 2D and 3D representation
Hi all,
I am working on an analytical problem of a circular plate under distributed loading conditions, and with all edge nodes constrained.
I first modelled the plate with 2D quad elements, thickness 0,35mm.
Then I modelled it with 3D brick elements, thickness 0,35mm (8 elements in the thickness).
Of course I would like to find the same order of magnitude concerning both results. But I do not in terms of deflection.
Does anyone has an answer to this ?
Thank you in advance,
Alice
