How can I connect a steel plate (used to transfer the bearing stress, no contribution to strength) to concrete in abaqus?

1.A steel plate is used to distribute the load evenly to concrete, how to connect the plate(shell) to concrete(solid ) 2. I have to connect two parts (both solid and same material)which should...

How can shear crack be obtained in Abaqus?

for a RC beam with CDP material model is it possible to have shear failure by doing away with the shear reinforcement, it didn't work out for me. OR we have to change the material model for shear?
