I have a cantilevered pipe-like structure modeled with shell elements and it is subjected to a seismic load using an implicit dynamic step. I have applied the acceleration to the bottom of the pipe using a boundary condition. In order to produce movement, I have released the transitional BC in...
I am performing a sequentially coupled thermal stress analysis on a concrete slab. I have the heat transfer portion done and am experiencing some convergence difficulties with the stress analysis portion. My question is, should I use a static or dynamic step when reading the heat transfer into...
Mehrafarid,
I am trying to model something very similar to your discussion on various temp. in shell element for a research project. I looked at your slab model and I have a question regarding the rebar. As you know, you can not use rebar in heat transfer analysis. I see that you neglected it in...
