Presented in this document is a small portion of the tests that exist in the Sierra / SolidMechanics (Sierra / SM) verication test suite. Most of these tests are run nightly with the Sierra / SM code suite, and the results of the test are checked versus the correct analytical result. For each of the tests presented in this document, the test setup, a description of the analytic solution, and comparison of the Sierra / SM code results to the analytic solution is provided. Mesh convergence is also checked on a nightly basis for several of these tests. This document can be used to conrm that a given code capability is veried or referenced as a compilation of example problems. Additional example problems are provided in the Sierra / SM Example Problems Manual. Note, many other verication tests exist in the Sierra / SM test suite, but have not yet been included in this manual.
