Dear Abaqus users I want to simulate the effect of a harmful liquid on a concrete member after submerging it inside this liquid, so do you have any ideas how to do that? or how to start?
Anyone has an advice, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance..
Some other points you will want to consider:
What is the shape of your specimen and do you want to work in rectangular, cylindrical, or spherical coordinates?
What are the relevant transport processes for ingress of the harmful liquid into the concrete - flow under applied or osmotic pressure (permeability), sorption, diffusion, or some combination of these?
Can you write balanced chemical equations for the reactions that are occuring between the harmful liquid and some of the phases in the concrete (portlandite, C-S-H, aluminate reaction products, aggregates)?
This will help you to write the appropriate transport and reaction equations for your system. COMSOL is another powerful modelling package that has been applied to such problems with good success.

Dear Mustafa S. Abdulraheem,
You should simulate the specification of your ideal fluid in Abaqus before running the analysis.
