Ok. Thank you very much.

I forgot to ask ... Is there any possibility then to include interactions in the model while carrying out modal analysis in Abaqus? Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I use Abaqus. Sorry, I see I didn't write in DASSAULT: ABAQUS FEA SOLVER section as I thought... I agree I could go with tie contacts, that should work, right? I am actually working on determination of frequencies of masonry walls (composed of bricks...

Hello everyone, is it possible to run modal analysis with interactions turned on in the model? I would like to determine the frequency of the system that actually has interactions between its parts? I tried with procedure type Linear perturbation (Frequency). Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, I am trying to model the masonry infill by simplified micro modelling approach. I defined one model in which the interaction between the bricks and between bricks and frame is defined by assigning additional contact properties (cohesive behavior and damage) to the interaction...

Thank you very much Mustaine3.

Hello everyone, I am working on the simulation of the behaviour of masonry infill under out-of-plane loading. You can see on the photo attached how the load is assigned (direction of the out-of-plane load). I assigned the uniform load (total force) to the wall. What is the best way to have the...

Yes... And the interactions cant be considered, right ?

Hello everyone, Is there any way to calculate eigenvalues of the system in Abaqus? Materials are defined as non-linear, including damage plasticity. Thanks in advance.

Dear FEA way, I think that you described my problem right. I ran calculations without cohesive behaviour and damage parameters defined in contact definition and it was possible to complete the calculations. Can an overlap of parts be an issue in this problem? Thanks and regaards

I have defined interactions by individual contact propert assignment. I have general contact defined and then individual contact property assignments which overwrite the general contact. I havent defined surface-to-surface contact...

I am sorry, i am new to the software. Where can I check if the slave adjustment is enabled in contact pair definition? I am running analysis in Abaqus / Explicit. Attached are the contact properties I have...

I agree. I still cant figure it out. The distorted element is part of the brick instance. It is the model of masonry infill wall and the distortion occurs in element which is part of brick. The only interaction is interaction between surfaces of bricks (nteraction definition - hard contact...

FEA way, I faced problem again with excessive distortion of elements. I run calculations of similar models and the error sometimes occurs , sometimes not. So I am really not sure what is the problem. Elements ErrElemExcessDistortion are not located where tie constraint was applied. They...

Hello everyone, My abaqus files are closed and I am out of the software with the error written in the window. The photo with error is attached to the post. This happens when I want to see the results of the calculation (odb file). In this case the calculations are not completed and the job...

FEA way, thanks for the help. It was something wrong in the model, but I am not sure what. It was possible to run and complete the calculation when I redefined the model.

I found this warning in Data file: WARNING: THE FOLLOWING SLAVE NODES INVOLVED IN *TIE,ARE WITHIN COMBINED MASTER AND SLAVE THICKNESS AWAY FROM THEIR PROJECTION POINTS ON THE MASTER SURFACE. THE COORDINATES OF THESE NODES HAVE THEREFORE NOT BEEN ADJUSTED. But it is still not clear to...

Hello everyone, error "The elements contained in element set ErrElemExcessDistortion-step3 have distrorted excesivelly" occured. Attached are the photos of distorted elements. The elements are really being subjected to high values of deformation and their material definition is Hyperfoam, but...

Thank you FEA. It worked.

Hi everyone, I am modelling a RC frame as one part. It is consisted of two columns, beam and a base beam. Base beam's bottom surface has fixed boundary conditions. How can I measure the total force acting on the frame? I tried to apply kinematic coupling (coupled RP and bottom surface of the...
