Dear Abaqus users,
I perform a static analysis with a Standard module on a masonry wall macro model. Four surfaces interact with a reference point in the middle of the model as in the photo attached. Out-of-plane displacement defined on this reference point. Deformed shape and the damage profile matches perfectly with the test. But the curve of the upper point displacement and the reaction force at the base prone upwards (as seen in the attached photo).
Is that issue related with the material properties (concrete damaged plasticity material properties attached) or the constraint defined on the reference point ?
Thanks in advance !!
Do you check the contact properties between the concrete bricks.
Also check this paper
Influence of prism geometry on the compressive strength of concrete masonry
one of my friend have used the tutorials on this website and was satisfied,
hope to be helpful.
