I’m running the patch test on the model (steel plate) my prof gave to me. I´m confused about the load distribution on the plate. The middle node loads in x and y directions seem too large, and the corner loads don’t match my calculations.
I posted the boundary conditions and Forces on the nodes(the one the professor provided me). I thought the corner loads should be: 150,4 (the load) *5(length between the 2 nodes) /2 with the middle node receiving double this. Despite this, the patch test results look correct. Can someone clarify or verify the load distribution?
q0=150,4 constant load / node 20 and 18 are the middle ones and the rest are corner nodes.I’m running the patch test on the model (steel plate) my prof gave to me.
