here we are to tell you how we can model masonry in abaqus cae.
there are 3 ways:
1-micro modeling
2- macro modeling
3- micro-macro modeling(HOMOGENIZATION)
micro modeling; 
in this method all parts should be modeled in abaqus separately.
but notice that don't use shell to modeling grout because of 3d properties of grout and cohesive characteristics.
this method is suitable for small masonry panels with 2-3 layers of brick.

You should access the abaqus results (*.fil) file via MATLAB.
In order to take your results into a fil file you should specify *FILE FORMAT, ASCII along with *EL FILE and/or *NODE FILE, etc. options in your abaqus input file (assuming that you run Abaqus/Standard).

FEMIRAN professional design & analyses group using
finite element method

FEMIran

FEMIran
is an engineering group with the sole aim of effective use of engineering
simulation methods such as finite element analysis using Abaqus , Ansys ,
Matlab , …

Here we are to answer any qustion of finite element modeling in abaqus and ansys.

do u have any question?

we do it for you...
