Dear Navid Arvin,

Which version of ABAQUSdo you have? ABAQUS/Standard can simulate concrete elements using plasticity models, while ABAQUS/Explicit can do it using cracking models.

Please refer to the following links for:

1. Plasticity models: https://classes.engineering.wustl.edu/2009/spring/mase5513/abaqus/docs/v6.6/books/usi/default.htm?startat=pt03ch12s08s02.html

2. Cracking models: https://classes.engineering.wustl.edu/2009/spring/mase5513/abaqus/docs/v6.6/books/usb/default.htm?startat=pt05ch18s05abm35.html

Best regards.
