Why am I getting the following error when creating an RC model in abaqus?

11 November 2014 1 7K Report

I have created an RC model in abaqus, I want to study the crack propagation using XFEM, but I am getting an error "unable to locate crack tip"?

Unnikrishnan Bm

Thank You for replying.

The error is "unable to locate crack tip"

model is a RC beam of 2m length and crossection200*300

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?
