how does ABAQUS design the cohesive element

Submitted by Hubert Chen on

Dear all,

I recently need calculate the stiffness matrix of the cohesive elements manually via mathematica. I used the finite element method to fulfill the assignment, but the result I got didn't match the stiffness matrix I extracted from the Abaqus. Neither did my supervisor.

knn, ktt and kss seem to be so obvious for the traction-seperation law, as also it measioned in Abaqus.  Could you please help me out by offering the way to find how the ABAQUS exactly design the cohesive elements or how ABAQUS calculate the stiffness matrix.

how to use combin39

Submitted by eng.rj on

hi,

i am modelindg a concrete beam , first i creat one concrete element and then copy it to creat the beam, but how can i add the steel, i dont want the steel nodes to be coincide with concrete nodes, and then how can i add combin39 between steel nodes and concrete nodes.

thanks

Hi all,

 

Our research team took part in the conference "Sustainable Solutions for Concrete Structures", which took place in Aix-en-Provence, in France. The conference was dedicated mainly to recent advances in modelling of concrete and concrete structures. As always, more details can be found on:  microlab-m3c4.blogspot.com

 

Cheers!
