Pressure increase for a thin walled vessel on Abaqus

Submitted by Ibrahim Emad El-din on

I'm using Abaqus to model a Thin walled pressure vessel till Von Mises Stress (Svm) reaches the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS). Is there an easiers method to run the program in a way the pressure increases itself till Svm reaches to the UTS instead of running the program several times for differet pressures.

Smeared Cracking Model in ABAQUS

I am trying to analyse a beam subject to elevated temperature using smeared cracking model for concrete. Its sequentially coupled thermal stress analysis. I am a newbie as far as ABAQUS is concerned. Can someone please help me out with the smeared cracking model. I am not able to figure the tension stiffening properties that I need to enter. Please help.
