ZZZZ101 - Validation of the operators

AFFE_CARA_ELEM and POST_ELEM

Summary:
Validation of the operators AFFE_CARA_ELEM and POST_ELEM.
This test relates to the calculation of the mass, the centre of gravity and the tensor of inertia in the centre
of gravity for following modelings:
• discrete elements: DIS_TR and DIS_T,
• elements of bar: BAR,
• elements of beam: POU_D_E, POU_D_T,
• elements of hulls: DKT, DST, Q4G,
• voluminal elements: 3D.
