Hello everybody.
I have a concrete slab that i would like to study and there is an embedded steel part inside the concrete. I have attached a screenshot of the model.
The embedded steel part is solid, not just the regular beam LINK180 parts. I made a cavity in the concrete slab, so the 2 parts are separate.
My question is, what should be the contact type between the concrete slab and steel component? Frictional or bonded? I think frictional is the most representative, but i would like to hear your opinions.
Thanks in advance!
