I would like to undertake an FEA of a large-span culvert with heavy loads. The culvert material is relatively heavy gage 6"x2" corrugated steel. I have used CANDE89 for 2D plane-strain solutions, but the DOS-based program input and output has become very cumbersome. I have been utilizing nonlinear interface elements at the soil-pipe interface as well as nonlinear steel pipe (beam) elements and nonlinear soil elements. Has anyone used Algor for nonlinear soil modeling? Thanks.
