    Continuous footing FE modeling: different results

    @Denial: thank you for your hint, I didn't notice it, by the way results hold the same. @IDS: your model give me the same results as mine actually. Are you confident with Ansys? If so, how can I use LINK180 for nonlinear analysis as a compression only element? Because I define the real costant...

    Continuous footing FE modeling: different results

    Thank you for your help and your suggestion for Strand7 output display. By the way I also modeled the problem with Strand7 using node stiffness and beam support, results are very close. I was now focusing on the spring model in order to compare it with Ansys analysis. Actually I guess the...

    Continuous footing FE modeling: different results

    Looks like I coudn't upload more than one file. The one in the previous post was the STRAND 7 model. This one is the ANSYS input. Note: "NUMERO PILASTRI" means "COLUMNS NUMBER".http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2de24210-4766-4351-8707-431c0a3ac4d1&file=travi_rovesce_serie.txt

    Continuous footing FE modeling: different results

    Thank you all, I'm sorry I'm new to the forum now I get what you meant by "upload the models". @IDS: I get the same values, now I should have posted the models so you can check everything. @Denial: I started to solve a 4000m beam because I have the "hand calculated" solution for that, which...

    Continuous footing FE modeling: different results

    Ok then here I have a few screenshots. Problem data: Beam section: 200*200 mm2 (square) Elastic modulus: 10000 MPa (Poisson ratio=0) Length between vertical forces: 4000 mm Nodal forces: -12000 N Spring axial stiffness: 1000 N/mm ONE nodal force - Strand 7 results: ONE nodal force - ANSYS...

    Continuous footing FE modeling: different results

    Hi everyone! I'm trying to model a continuous footing foundation: Winkler springs bed under a continuous slab with one or more loaded nodes (corresponding to the columnus). The problem is that I modeled it with two different softwares (Strand7 and Ansys) and I obtained two different results...
