Abaqus composite beam arch

Abaqus composite beam arch

(OP)
Dear Abaqus users,

I am trying to model a composite section arch, but I struggling with defining a composite section. The cross section in rectangular steel with rectangular concrete on top.I want to perform 2D analysis.

So far I have tried creating 2 different lines using wire element and then assigning each a different profile. I also put springs with infinite stiffness in-between them. But the results are not what I expect to get.

Is it possible to define a composite section for 2d analysis? If not, what is the other way to do it? Is it possible to extrude along curved line (arch) in 3d analysis?

Thank you.
