E = 210000N/mm2
n = 0.3
a = 200mm
b = 100mm
t = 10mm
r = 10mm
s = 100N/mm2
Steps in Submodeling
The process for using submodeling is as
follows:
Create and analyze the coarse model.
Create the submodel.
Perform cut boundary interpolation (CBI).
Analyze the submodel.
Verify that the distance between the cut
boundaries and the stress concentration is
adequate.
