Wen model in ABAQUS
Wen model in ABAQUS
(OP)
I need to model base isolators(N-Z and Wire rope) in ABAQUS. The behaviour of these isolators is goverened by Wen model. I have tried connector elements using plastic + damping behaviour, however I m unable to get accurate results. Is there any other way of simulating Wen model in ABAQUS. I have the following properties to be used as inputs for Wen model(beta, gamma, n,A).
