Verification of SACS DKT Plate

Elements
Introduction
A series of problems described in A Proposed Standard Set of Problems to Test Finite
Element Accuracy by Macneal and Harder (1985) is used to verify the validity of the DKT
plate and Shell elements in SACS. These SACS models are available under Sample 16 in
the Samples folder of the SACS installation directory. This folder contains model files, run
files and expected results.
Each problem consists of a geometry definition, a boundary condition and a theoretical

solution. These theoretical solutions will be compared to the SACS results to check the
element validity in SACS.

Conclusion
The SACS solution very closely matches the theoretical solutions presented by Macneal
and Harder. The maximum error of 0.017% is acceptable for a finite element solution. This
error can be attributed to the mesh density and may be improved by refining the mesh.
