I am simulating nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys.

Can someone
explain how to get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating

Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.

load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)

8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.

isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values

get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?

Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.

9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)

centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node

7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.

12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.

5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not

length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?

find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to

Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.

load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)

8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.

isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values

get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?

Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.

9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)

7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.

4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.

capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my

length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?

nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to

Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
9. In sol controls I provide the time at the end of load step as the total failure
load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.

load say 500. Then I chose time increment and give 0.01, 0.001 0.1 as time step,
min and max time.
10. Then I switch on line search and increase the default convergence criteria to
0.005.
11. Then I run solve current ls.
12. When I get the solution not converged at load step XXXX I stop the analysis and
find the second last time step which I consider as the failure load.I am simulating
nonlinear analysis of concrete deep beams using Ansys. Can someone explain how to
get the post cracking behavior of the same?
Since I am using newton Rapson method I am able to provide stress strains values
for multi-linear curve only in the ascending part. I have heard that by using arc
length method I will be able to provide the full multi-linear curve. Can someone
help me in using arc length method for the same analysis. I search many places but
haven�t got an idea on using it. One more thing, I would like to point in my
current analysis is that, my solution is not converging before reaching the maximum
capacity of my beam. Usually a message telling me that the solution is not
converging comes around 20 to 40kN before the actual failure load. The procedure I
use for the analysis is given in brief below. The results I need are the failure
load, crack pattern and load displacement curve. Thank you in advance.
The elements I use for modeling concrete, rebar and bearing plate are solid65,
link180 and solid185 respectively.
Steps I use for modeling are:
1. Define concrete and bearing plate using volume.
2. Define the rebar using lines.
3. For real constants, solid65 is given its default value (Plain concrete), cross
sectional area is given for link elements as required.
4. For material model, a. concrete = Linear isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic
multilinear and nonlinear inelastic nonmetal plasticity concrete. b. Rebar = Linear
isotropic, Nonlinear inelastic bilinear c. Bearing plate = linear isotropic
5. Assign required mesh attributes and mesh using hex mesh.
6. Then couple DOF using default limit.
7. Provide support condition alone the center line of the supports (All node alone
the width is restrained as required)
8. Provide load (If estimated failure load is 500kN and number of nodes along the
centre of the support in the width direction is five, I provide 100kN at each node
which makes a totle of 500kN)
