Pushover analysis error

[marafini.f]

I don't know what was the problem.
I took the previous file, assigned the new material properties to the shell and it runs now.
Maybe you had defined wrong thickness of the shell, it was 1m thick!
Just a note, if you use DamageTC3D you need to reduce the size of your mesh to avoid constitutive snap-back. You model will not run with a large mesh size.

and how can i reduce the mesh?

[felicegiordano95]

Only now I have seen that the mesh has been reduced by her, thank you very much for the support

[felicegiordano95]

However, this error appears to me .. I don't know how to fix it

[marafini.f]

It says you need to either increase the fracture energy or decrease the mesh size.

I can't do the material calibration for you. If you want to know how to mesh I did an entire webinar on that.

And if instead I do not want to insert the reinforcements, but only want to see the plastic behavior of the plate (for example in the gauss plot) how can I model the plate?

[marafini.f]

Same way, just three layers of concrete without the plateRebar. With LayerShell you see the results in the fibers not in the gauss point.

Hi, I wanted to ask you how can I plot a "shear-displacement" curve or "shear-load step" curve on a column?
Thank you in advance

Dear Felice,

yes you can.
You need to use the Extract Chart Data command in the postProcessor, selecting the appropriate information as you go through the wizard.

We did discuss this in these webinars:

How can I extract the cut in an abutment? Because inside the "secton.force" in the software I only see My, Mz and T (which stands for twist I think)
