23. Normal boundary pressure on an non-planar surface

This test covers normal boundary pressure loads applied on a non-planar surface (spline projection).

Geometry and setup

This test uses geometry 7 circular beam with splined end.

Load cases

  • LC1_nPressure_pos: Normal positive pressure applied on the coupling surface

  • LC2_nPressure_neg: Normal negative pressure applied on the coupling surface
