thank you very much

You could use solid 65 element in ANSYS it is specifically made for such issue. Follow examples given in ANSYS help

ya I am using solid 65 only...But I want to know how I plot the cracks in the ansys WORKBENCH...

Which concrete model you use to represent the cracking behavior of concrete?

CONCR model

with the shear coefficients for open and closed crack.....

Your element type solid 65 and concrete model are both fine. However I don't think ANSYS has the option to plot the cracks in concrete. Did you compare load-deflection relationship of both experimental and numerical

in ANSYS classical Plot Results > Concrete Plot > Crack/Crush. I am sure there must be something similar in the results which you can select in workbench.

Please find enclosed file that may be helpful in order to get an answer

regards

 see the video on youtube expalins in details

have you done this work? how did you solve it?

For Getting Crack Plot in Workbench try using the following Code which can be inserted in Solutions>>

/SHOW,png

/ANG,1,

/VIEW,1,0,0,0

SET,1,1

/DEVICE,VECTOR,ON

!PLNSOL,s,eqv

!SET,Lstep,1

SET,Last

PLCRACK

The Code works very similar to the APLD outputs hence requires the user to solve the problem again to get the crack, though its hardly visible to see the crack.

hi every body

me to want to modeling nonlinear concrete beam due to seismic load and then show crack

i do this work for linear elastic but and how do for nonlinear analysis in ansys workbench??

Hi

You can insert a command block in workbench solution branch to view cracks for Concrete SOLID65 element. A better way is to insert a mechanical APDL component in the project view and open your results in APDL for a better control over cracks viewing. in ANSYS APDL you can go to Plot Results > Concrete Plot > Crack/Crush to view cracks and you can also show cracks in different load/displacement steps.

@Darmansyah Tjitradi how did you just demonstrated crack or crash in beam? I mean with which command did you use to show ceack and crash in differently shape?

Seyed Reza Jafari I use the command line:

/SHOW,png

/ANG,1,

/VIEW,1,1,0,0

SET,1,1

/DEVICE,VECTOR,ON

/POST1

SET,,, ,,, ,10

PLCRACK,0,0

I wonder if there's anyway to display it in workbench?

Darmansyah Tjitradi

With this command can i see the cracks in Ansys workbench?

Daiane Brisotto

Yes. You can see the cracks.
