I model a simply supported reinforced beam, using nonlinearbeamcolumn, fiber section, concrete02,steel02, 3 nodes named 1,3,5. applying vertical concentrating force to node 3. I want it to be displacement control. But after many times of testing, the result is always null. Please help me with my ana...

1,You mean a model with fiber section is not suitable with hysteretic material?
2,Then If I want to simulate the pinching effect with hyseretic material, what section should be used instead of fiber section?

Now I want to simulate a simply supported beam with reversed load. I have uesd steel02 and concrete02, but the result don't have pinching effect as the experiment. So I want to use the hysteretic material instead of steel02, do you think it makes sense? If yes, the problem is that I cannot find how ...

I have built a simply supported beam under cyclic loads. I considered shear effect into the section. But the results were messy. Is there anything wrong with my codes? :?: Here is the part of my codes: #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

This ads are annoying and I recommend you add security code in your website.

I have finished simulating one simply supported reinforced concrete beam with fiber section and forced-nonlinear beamcolumn element. And I found the result not very satisfying. I considered it to be the effect from the shearing crack. Therefore, I want to simulate the RC beam with a plane stress ele...

Hi, I want to simulate simply supported beam applying static reversed cycle analysis. Then the codes are as follows: #--the model--------------------------------------------------------------------------- set L [expr 0.74*$m]; # beam length set X1 0.; set X3 [expr $X1 + $L]; set X5 [expr $X3 + $L]; ...

Thank you for your previous answers. And now I have new problems. I used the ConcreteZ01 and SteelZ01 which are written by UT, and the results turn out to be satisfying. But there still two problems confused with me. 1, after running the programs, part of it shows as follows, I never run into this, ...

ok, I have sent my codes as a email to you. Thank you for checking up for me.

I am very confused with my code. I have examined my model like node, section, element, load, all those seem ok, What could the reason be? I have read the code in the example.chm about the canti2d column. I thought since it is suiItable for canti column,in theory, it must be ok with simply supported ...

=================== Thank you very much for coming back... In my opinion, Since the middle node did not break the bar into two parts, Since the gravity I applied is distributed, then the deformation should be a curve not a "V", isn't it? I have had the line you referred...It didnot help. T...

You must go to lunch...ok, I will go back to my sleep ...

Yes ,It has display command and by which ,I know it is V shape after applied gravity. _________________ It means the element does not move at all !

========================================================================================== OK, if the bar is not broken by node, what other may the reason be for the large deformation ? I do think the result makes no sense. the gravity I applied is distributed along the whole beam element, but the d...
