problem with getting stress-strain in fibers

Post by cvatansever »

Hello Everybody,

I am trying to get a moment-curvature curve of a section whose material is polymer fiber reinforced concrete. The stress-strain relationship of this material across the section is different and complex. So, I modeled the stress-strain relationship for both tension and compression sides using hysteretic material model.
After analysis, I can not get any stress-strain value of a fiber using recorder. Is there any idea to fix this problem ? Some data lines are as follows.

Thanks in advance,

Cuneyt,
