I am working on structural analysis of steel reinforced concrete project in ANSYS workbench. which type of elements will be better to simulation of concrete?
ET,MATID,SOLID185
OR
use linear element type in mesh control
Use SOLID65 3D reinforced concrete solid element which is used to model Concrete with or without reinforcement in ANSYS.
Here is the link for detail,

Thank you sir, I tried with solid65 element but it has convergence problem, I used following command micro assigning solid 65

but it shows an error
*** ERROR ***
Duplicate temperature values were found. The MPTEMP command is
ignored.
please help me to come out of this error and suggest a common micro used to define SOLID65 material in ANSYS workbench.
Change the KEYOPT of the SOLID65 element. While defining the stress-strain curve the initial value should define the elastic limit of concrete.
thank you sir , I have made changes as per your suggestion for keyopt but still it shows same error . As I am new in this reinforced concrete simulation,please help me to define element in this type of problems.I hereby attached problem definition for your reference, I have to use concrete in automotive arm body.
Thanks Zhaochun Yang , I tried with your as per your suggetion but it shows following error.
The solver output file has exceeded the maximum size and will not be displayed here.
beside using SOLID65 (legacy element), you can use a micro-plane model with newer CPT element. The micro-plane model supports the current technology elements SOLID18x.
Dear Mahesh,
You can use CPT element based microplane model.Linear element type in mesh control can also work out for your case.
But best available you can have ET for concrete simulation using ANSYS workbench.

Dear Mahesh,
The following article may helps you,
