I'm new to this area and trying to get a handle on using this software to model fracture propagation in concrete samples at low and high strain rates. Problem is i can't seem to get a proper time step for the low strain rate situations. I understand that for endtimes above 1 sec, this software might be inadequate but at least i should get some results. Any tips regarding this?
Thanks
