Conclusion:
There are small differences between hand calculus and the software calculus; this is due to the
accuracy of discretization of the finite element used. For a more precision the step of discretization should
be very small, but it will process in a more period of time. In this case I think that the results are
acceptable. The shape of the diagrams is showing that we have only compression in the cylindrical shell,
but in same section results also tension (along the length of the cylindrical shell).
