Can anybody provide me with tutorials to model a URM wall in ANSYS?

11 November 2014 1 2K Report

I am planning to model a brick masonry wall to check its failure mechanism on non-linear time history and provide RC jackets to retrofit this wall in both in-plane and out-of-plane directions.

Hi Sandip,

Similar work has been done in Abaqus focusing on steel reinforcements.

You can get ideas from this report:

Regards,

George

How can we model the perfect bonding in ansys apdl?

Can we model without using contact elements, i used ''merge node'' options but it doesn't work. In case using contact 173 and target 170, how can we model the perfect bonding?
