How can I model stirrup in TNO Diana or Ansys?

09 September 2015 1 10K Report

I have made a solid 3D beam and put reinforcement as a line element. How can I model stirrups in it?

Hi Fatima,

In TNO Diana you can model the stirrups as embedded or as discreet. The easiest way is to model them as embedded . After you create the mesh for your 3D beam, create the stirrups as lines and just mesh them as 1D mesh with 1 element. The processor will include the stiffness of the stirrups to each element that is being crossed by it. and it reverse the process at the end of the analysis.

I hope that it was clear enough. I wiss you luck.

Best regards,

Dan
