CFVR3701 - Initial stresses on 2D Model

Initial stresses on a 2D Model with irregular mesh.

A plane model is used to analyze the results obtained when applying initial stresses and gravity on a 2D model with an irregular mesh.

Element types used in the model: PLANE42

Needed CivilFEM Modules:
Geotechnical Module
Bridges and Civil Non Linearities Module
Advanced Prestressed Concrete Module

The example can be launched on an educational license.
