Analysing a Composite Ultra slim floor beam

[OJM]

Hi all,

I am relatively new to abaqus, but I understand most of the basic concepts. I'm trying to analyse a slim floor composite beam under cyclic loading. I.e a perforated beam with circular openings in the web, this is filled with concrete and reinforced with rebar lengths.

I've used embedded constraints for the steel beam and rebar within the concrete slab is this correct to do so? (I know that's what you do with reinforced concrete).

Also, how would I go about meshing this composite beam? Would I mesh the individual parts? and how would I mesh such a complicated steel beam?

Many Thanks

Olly
