Benchmark Model

The HEXA 8-node and HEXA 20-node solid elements are used in test FV52. An 8x8x3 mesh configuration is used for HEXA 8-node elements, and a 4x4x1 mesh configuration is used with HEXA 20-node elements. The z-directional displacement is constrained at Z = -5m plane along the four edges of the plate.

The material properties are:
E
200 x 109 N/m2
υ
0.3
ρ
8000 kg/m3

Modal Analysis Results

The frequency of each targeted mode is normalized with the closed form solution.
