TendonL01 or Hysteretic Material, That is the question

Post by bahramabdollahi »

hello everyone
i hope you be fine
i have a post tensioned column model with TendonL01 Material as post tensionening membres which modeled with truss elements. so i want to know which one of these materials is more accurate for post tensioning ?
I think that TendonL01 Material sometimes makes some bugs, Is not it ?
best regards

Hysteretic material has been around a lot longer and is more widely used .. the Tendon material may have an issue, but you would need to send the stress-strain response coming from the material showing the error
