after Sputnik. It was a time when support for science and engineering

was enlarging fast, when opportunities were abundant. There were plenty

Hi pals,

Hi

I am trying to predict load-displacement curve for concrete cube numerically through ABAQUS. I am just beginer with ABAQUS, I have gone through the concrete material models available in ABAQUS. I found that smeared crack model well suite for analysis. Initially I am simulating a 2D model, I am using plane stress elements with static, Riks options, even I could able to complete the analysis, I am confused how to view the cracked elements and how to plot load-displacement curve.

hi

can i define softening in abaqus with options available in this software?

thanks for your attention
