Dear All,

I am using 3D solid element in ANSY program. For calculating energy strain of the solid element,I need to determinate volume of each integration point. The 3D solid element used is 8 nodes. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Dear all,

I just use ANSYS to model brick masonry.  I use solid65 for modeling brick masonry to define crack with smeared crack model but I have some problems:

1. The solid65 is only for isotropic, beside brick masonry exbihits as orthotropic. Could you introduce me what element can model brick masonry with orthotropic behaviour to define smeared crack?
