How do I solve a Solver Pivot Error in an ANSYS model with minor gaps between solid elements?

Hi, I'm currently modeling a brick wall in Ansys. I'm modeling the bricks as discrete elements and replaced the mortar with non-linear spring elements (Combin39). There is a 2mm gap between each...

How do I model Bond slip b/w Concrete and rebar in ASNYS Workbench? Is a force-displacement relationship also required for bond slip?

I intend to model bond slip between Rebar and concrete in workbench. Can I achieve it applying Solid65 for concrete and Link180 or Combin39 rebar elements or do I need to go for a Contact element...

Why is there a need for definition of Solid65 material in ANSYS for RC Beam modeling?

In RC Beam analysis in ANSYS Workbench for two point loading, is it acceptable to use the Concrete material already defined in the Engineering Database? Why do we define Solid65 instead?
