Stress in Section Module

[t.sautierr]

Artur, Rafal,

I currently performing a (simple) study on a complex section (hot rolled jumbo profile encased in a concrete mega column). For now, I just want to be able to have a distribution of constraint with the hypothesis of continuouns linear strain -> ok if I am in compression everywhere but if I put a sole bending moment, RSA is calculating traction stresses in the concrete, is there a way to integrate to disregard traction in the concrete?

Is there also a way to accelerate graphical display, it just so long .....

Thx.

Hi Thomas,

You cannot disregard tension in concrete in the Stress Analysis in Robot but as far as I know thjis is what is done in Autodesk Structural Bridge Design.

Are you advising me to purchase  Autodesk Structural Bridge Design 🙂

So no solution even if defining a new material with non linear properties ? I assume this because the stress analysis is performed on the basis of rdm formula ? no further calculation except the geometrical properties of the defined section?

The point is that in Robot you cannot define such material.
