I am posting this on behalf of a customer requesting some enhancement for Simulation Mechanical in regards to concrete analysis. I would like everyones feedback on how you would use Simulation Mechanical to analyze concrete behavior and failure. Here are some areas of interest. Feel free to post your own ideas.
- Improved failure analysis for cracking of concrete
- Consideration of non-zero self equilibriating stresses in unloaded concrete parts
- Stresses from thermal loading and cool-down.
Let me know if you have any other ideas for expanded functionality.
