Translations:FEM Shear of a Composite Block/2/en

Introduction
In this tutorial we analyse the shear deformation of a composite block consisting of a stiff core embedded in a soft matrix. It demonstrates the use of BooleanFragments and CompoundFilter to create solids for the block and the matrix from two concentric cubes. This workflow ensures that separate MeshRegions, Materials and Boundary Conditions can be defined for the block and the surrounding matrix. To select internal regions we make us of the macro by Markus Hovorka (https://github.com/drhooves/SelectionTools). The CalculiX results clearly show the effect of the stiff core on the response of the composite block.
