Regression Test: Cantilever Beam BENDING with Hex8 Elements
**THIS IS A BENDING TEST, NOT AXIAL LOADING!**
Establishes baseline results for linear elastic cantilever beam under transverse load.
This test locks in the current behavior before implementing material nonlinearity.
Geometry:
- Beam orientation: Along Z-axis (1024m length)
- Cross-section: 1m × 1m (in X-Y plane)
- Elements: 1024 Hex8 elements along length (each element is 1m × 1m × 1m cube)
- Fixed: Left end (Z=0) - all DOFs constrained
- Loaded: Right end (Z=1024) - transverse force in -Y direction
Loading:
- **BENDING LOAD**: Force in -Y direction (perpendicular to beam axis Z)
- Force magnitude chosen so Euler-Bernoulli theory predicts exactly δ_Y = 10.0 m
- F = 488.76 kN (calculated from beam theory formula)
- Distributed over 4 corner nodes at tip
Material:
- Linear elastic steel (E=210 GPa, ν=0.3)
Acceptance Criteria:
- Solution converges (K is invertible)
- Tip displacement in -Y direction (bending deflection)
- Baseline value locked for regression testing
Note: Power-of-2 dimensions (1024m length) chosen for easy convergence studies.
