Dear all,
I have a serious problem with visualizing the smeared crack pattern in ABAQUS.
I am modeling a reinforced concrete slab in ABAQUS and I would like to see the crack pattern changes with different loading conditions. As you may know the ABAQUS viewer is not as advanced and I have a...
Drej,
I also have another question to clarify the way we should input the ground motions. You mentioned that its impossible to apply accelerations in ANSYS and I should apply displacements using the D command. but I am looking at the D command and I can see that there are ACCLX,ACCLY,and ACCLZ...
Hi Drej,
The layout of the problem is as following:
I have a safe structure which under goes a seismic event (acceleration input) and it might get nonlinear, I have defined nonlinear behavior for my concrete and reinforcing steel and I can check whether the concrete has cracked (gone nonlinear...
Hi Drej,
Thanks for your response. The point is that my structure goes nonlinear under the first ground motion and I wanna see with this nonlinearity how it will respond under the second earthquake. Thats why I have to carry on the state of the structure at the end of first ground motion as the...
Hi Drej,
Thanks for your valuable response. I have another question regarding the gravity. As I said I have assigned density of material to my concrete material, now the point is does ANSYS apply the gravity to this value or I need to introduce a seperate mass using the mass element?
My second...
Hi terio,
Thanks for your response. For the gravity force do I need a seperate analysis first and then do the next transient analysis having the results from the gravitational one? I'd appreciate you response.
Hi,
I am modeling a structural component in ANSYS, its reinforced concrete and i've used solid65 as my element with smeared rebars.
I have a ground motion timehistory ( acceleration) that should be applied to the base of the structure (base excitation), my ANSYS version is 12.0.1.
1. Is that...
