There are no warnings regarding the invalidity of cohesive elements. This is What I read from the documentation:
"Any of the stress/displacement elements in Abaqus/Standard can be used in a geostatic procedure. Continuum pore pressure elements can also be used for modeling fluid in a deforming...
Yes, I define a Geostatic step and apply geostatic stress predefined field at 2 vertical elevations .Then I apply gravity in geostatic step. When I use the ordinary elements at soil-pile interface it works well. But when I use cohesive element at soil-pile interface, there is a discontinuity in...
Hello,
I am trying to model frozen soil-pile interaction using cohesive elements. when I apply the geostatic stress as a pre-defined field to soil, I expect the lateral pressure of soil element adjacent to cohesive element to be the same as the pressure applied to the cohesive element in its...
