I am trying to use a J2Plasticity material in my model. To use this material, I must include a linear and exponential hardening parameter. I was assuming that the linear hardening parameter would be "k" from the Drucker-Prager model. That may or may not be right. I have no idea what the ex...

I tried using the normal steel and concrete modules and got the same error.

I'm sorry. I should have explained that. I am working on a research project for the University of Houston. UH developed a model known as the Cyclic Softened Membrane Model (CSMM) in 2005. The model predicts the nonlinear shear behavior of reinforced concrete membrane elements. A couple of years ago,...

I am attempting to model a fairly complicated 3D frame that consists of 2 stories, 2 bays in the x-direction, and 1 bay in the y-direction with shear walls. I think I am fairly close, but I keep getting the error message: ForceColumn3d::update - failed to get compatible element forces & deformat...
