The role of the binder as a guarantor of cohesion is considered negligible because it is the element most likely to vary over time. It is therefore not taken into account in mechanical analyses and calculations, even though it is very important for a homogeneous and regular distribution of loads. And is it correct?)
On the contrary, if mortar has a great influence on the analysis of the structure, how can we model it? How can we model the interactions between mortar and tiles?
Since my vault is made up of several layers of tiles, is it better to create a model representing reality (i.e. a vault created with tiles that we can see clearly) or is it simpler to create a uniform model (i.e. a solid with the same dimensions as a vault created with several layers). I would like to know whether the mistake we are making in creating a uniform model is negligible or not.
If we have to create a vault composed of all the tiles necessary for its manufacture, can we create a specific mesh? (This is to avoid assembling all the tiles which will be long and tedious).

Do you know if it was possible to display on catia, in the Generative Structural Analysis workbench, the pressure lines/Thrust line in English of a structure. (Or something similar)
