Re: Fracture energy definition

Thank you for your availability and response. Using the randomiser material wrapper the model seems more stable and the solution more accurate.
I am trying to calibrate these materials for use within models to simulate uniaxial compression tests and diagonal compression tests on masonry panels ...

Re: Fracture energy definition

Thank you for your availability. Please find the model file in the attached compressed folder. The model related to the graph I posted is this one. However, I used the ASDConcrete3D material in other models and I observed the same behaviour when varying the mesh.
Thank you

Fracture energy definition

Dear STKO team,
I write because I am not clear on how fracture energy is defined.
I am using a very simple model simulating a uniaxial compression test on a cube. I define the material with the ASDConcrete3D bond (Preset Concrete 9P).
I enter, as required, the fracture energy, calculated according ...
