Due to symmetry, only a quarter model is considered, with the outside edges fixed in the vertical y direction.
The symmetry planes xy and yz are specified using normal rolling boundary conditions (that is, fixing the z direction for all boundary nodes on the xy plane and fixing all boundary nodes in the x direction on the yz-plane).
The dead load is calculated after applying the gravitational acceleration (ACEL).
A solid surface-pressure load is applied (SFA) with a maximum pressure value of pmax = 25 kPa at the end of the second time step. The additional surface pressure results in an additional total load of 600 kN on top of the dead load of approximately 118 kN.
