INTRODUCTION
A structure is a part or a rigid assembly of parts. The aim here is to carry out a pre-dimensioning, accompanied by a choice of material and a manufacturing procedure.
In particular, this involves estimating the stresses to which the structure is subjected. This phase inevitably involves analyzing service conditions (figure 1 ) and selecting a model (figure 2 ).
