Hello !
I’m willing to bench CalculiX performances on some platforms but I lack representative test cases.
Can I find somewhere datasets for static analysis that are open and large enough to challenge solvers behind?
Thanks !
hi,
actually it’s quite simple using CalculiX CGX, as in my previous large test case of solver type selections. i just create simple square plate (extruded) and mesh it based on edge division which can be fully controlled to highest density as desired.
apply some boundaries support and loads, due to self weight, mass or modal analysis are simple enough.
best,

below is example input file to generate model and calculation, you can try to observe about edge division and element type (line number 8&9)
model generates file (*.fbd)
