I have radial reinforcement as seen with blue lines below. I was wondering; if I dont want to do radial reinforcement, can I convert this to longitudinal reinforcement in the X and Y direction instead?
What I want; just regular reinforcement in the horizontal and vertical direction:
Edit: The...
I have three separate parts (shell element plates) coming together at the bottom where I get my warning message - here the bottom concrete deck, a rectangular and circular concrete part all meet and my FEA software doesnt seem to like it, can I still run this safely or should I try to model it...
I need to check the capacity of the deck and walls in this building. My senior supervisor told me I can just put pinned at top of the walls from the 1st floor. So I only need to model the 2nd floor deck and walls since everything below has enough capacity. I wonder what happens then in my FEA...
If you look at figure 6.25 you can see I have a force "F" acting on an area "a" - what horizontal force does this give? I wanna make sure I have enough reinforcement in my concrete foundation to take this horizontal force that "spreads out" in the concrete, say if for example force "F" is 100 kN...
I have a short reinforced concrete columns which support a train track as sketched below:
The upper part of column has had its concrete removed/pushed out on one side. Most logical conclusion would be its the train track which push the concrete out with horiontal forces, but in this specific...
I have a concrete deck which is subjected to point loads in Newton. I am running a simple static analysis. I was wondering if I were to add point mass/inertia, of say 100kg would this be somehow wrong in a static analysis? For example make it non static somehow. I ask because I only have...
I have a cross section as seen below, where the stirrup bars have a 12 mm diameter and center spacing of 150 mm. If I am asked what the transverse shear reinforcement is in the top part of the cross section (marked with black rectangle), is that the distance I've marked with the arrows in the...
Error message says: "Mixing steps with time and mode number domains while creating an XYData object is prohibited" when I try to extract displacement at a node for the concrete foundation im looking at.
This is the step im trying to extract the displacement from:
Before this step I do a...
I have a rubber brick which has a given stiffness (and a given Youngs modulus for its width*length*height) in the horizontal and vertical direction.
Since the Youngs modulus is dependent on the dimensions of the rubber brick, I can't get both the vertical and horizontal stiffness to be...
I am running a dynamic analysis as described here:

I have a concrete foundation which has a turbine (left side) and a generator (right side) on it. The loads from turbine...
I have a concrete foundation which has a turbine (left side) and a generator (right side) on it. The loads from turbine have vibrating forces at frequency = 150 Hz, and the generator 30 Hz. There has been done a similar exercise earlier with a steady state modal analysis in Abaqus, but there was...
I have an assembly with many parts all over the place. I would like to set a reference point at a certain point, then move it for example 1 in the x-axis and 2 in the z-axis. I cannot use the "Translate instance" feature on reference point. I tried to go to Feature-Edit, but when I try to edit...
I have several of these rubber bricks (picture below), and on top of them is a concrete foundation (not pictured here). Below the rubber bricks is the deck (not pictured here). I would like to know the reaction force of this rubber brick due to the foundation on top. Should I go to module...
I have 3 points which will be subjected to 100 N. I want to connect them all to a reference point and simply put the 100 N on the reference point and not have to manually load the 3 separate points with the load. I tried constraint type coupling between reference point and three points as you...
I have been given a static load(N), short circuit load(N) and faulty synch load(N) which I need to apply at certain points on a structure. I am quite familiar with static loads but not with the last two, they're supposed to be coming from some machinery on top of the structure. Would these most...
Not thinking of partitioning, but just points so I know where some bolts will be places in that specific part. Is there an easy way to mark these points on the part?
I have been given loads from train that needs to be reduced so that what is beneath the train (short reinforced concrete columns under railway track) experiences lower loading. The reason they can be reduced is because the loads are given for a train when its operating under normal conditions...
I get kw to be less than 0.65, does anyone know what this means? I double checked with a coworker but they did not know and my calculation seemed to be right.
