Does abaqus have the ability to show cracks in concrete graphically?
Dear Sadjad Amir Hemzah,
Please check out (Sec. 18.5.2) of Abaqus user's analysis manual (concrete damage plasticity model- Visualization of “crack directions” ) . You will find a detailed information about your query.
Best wishes
Of course, Concrete Smeared Cracking & Concrete Damaged Plasticity Models in Abaqus , the both can show the cracks in concrete in details.
Hi ibrahim
I used cdp model but i cannot see the element deletion or crack
Would you please help me?
Hi. I'll try to answer this question.
As per abaqus explanation regarding the concrete damaged plasticity model, Lubliner et al.(1989),we can assume that cracking initiates at points where the tensile equivalent plastic strain is greater than zero. This means that your PEEQT or PE strain is equivalent to the crack visualization in CDP model.
In CSC case, we can follow the same procedure on visualizing the crack. Only this time we could be able to quantify the crack unit by checking the CRACK output (only visible in your .dat file, there are no .odb field or history option for this.)
Hope that helps.
Several numerical models are presented on this website that are similar to your request;
