Strain-controlled test
Hello, I am trying to simulate a strain-controlled shear test to one element. The model works in monotonic situation. When I am performing the cyclic, it does not display correct values. I am constraining the bottom nodes of the model (ux=uy=uz=0) and the top I keep a constant height (uy=0)...- RFTomson

One element simple shear test
Hello, I am trying to simulate a simple shear test on a clay layer using one element. My model has one element, a square in 2D plane strain; I define 4 nodes [the corner ones] and a surface [the top surface] The initial step has 2 BC: 1. the bottom nodes [left and right] are prevented from...- RFTomson
