    Interactions for simulating a real prestress operation of strands in concrete

    I am simulating a prestress beam. I used normal behaviour, tangential behaviour, cohesive behaviour, and damage behaviour. Are these are right interaction combinations for surface to surface? Also in cohesive behaviour, there is traction separation stiffness like Knn, Kss, Ktt. How to calculate...

    ABAQUS Bond Stress vs Slip in a prestressed concrete beam with strand

    I have modeled a beam prestressed with strands. The model works but I want to plot the bond stress at the interface of strand and concrete versus slip of strand. How I can plot this graph from .odb file?

    Spring Element in Pre-stressing of Cables in Concrete

    Hello, I am trying to model prestressing in cables (strands) in concrete. I am trying to replicate the model as in the paper attached. In the paper, the author mentioned the spring elements between concrete and strands interface. Can anyone help me how to introduce the spring element for...

    Pre-stressing of strands in concrete beam

    I am trying to model prestressing in strands in a beam. I got this error as below. "Surface-based COHESIVE BEHAVIOR cannot be used for contact pair interactions. See the surface interaction named INTPROP-1" My purpose is to apply an initial prestress or initial displacement or initial jack...

    Prestressing of strands in ANSYS

    Hello, I am trying to apply prestressing to strands in a concrete beam. The idea is: 1. I need to pull the strand by a force of 35 Kip (Loading Step). 2. Then cast the concrete and wait for 1 day so that the concrete beam is hardened enough. 3. After one day, the strands released by prestressed...

    Converting .ODB to .CAE File

    Hi, I have a .odb file of my model. Unfortunately, all other files like .inp, .cae, and .jnl are misplaced from the PC. How I can get all my files back from .odb?

    .Lck file issue and Prestressing of CFRP strands in beams in ABAQUS

    Hello Everyone, 1. I am trying to model a beam pre-stressd with CFRP strands. Initially, the software works well, but now all the time it takes much time and .lck fie generated. I am unable to see any .odb file for results. How can I see my result? 2. I want to apply prestress in CFRP tendons...
