I am trying to create a model of a fiber-reinforced matrix material with tension-only fibers. I have tried using the SOLID65 element (concrete element); however, the tension-only option is not compatiable (at least using the cast-iron material options). Do you have a suggestion as to how to model these fibers as tension-only without actually modelling the fibers individually?
