Hi Mike, Thank you for your valuable insight. I was able to run the compression-only material model and obtained reasonable results, whereas the other model failed to converge. I understand that both API RP 2A and ISO 19902 address grouted joints …

Hi Mike, I hope you’re well. I’ve managed to run several analyses to convergence — some using compression-only concrete, and others using a Mohr-Coulomb model. In these models, I defined gap elements between the sleeve and the concrete, and betwee…

Thanks Mike for your insight — that was really helpful. I’ve been dealing with a bit of a conundrum, as several of these challenging issues seem to be present in my case. I was exploring an alternative approach by defining contact between the concr…

Thanks, Mike, for the heads up. I will give it a try once more.

Thanks, Victor, for the heads up, I have replaced all my elastic, plastic, and tension cut off with user defined compression only properties for concrete, i have tried it to run, i get below warning, is it normal?
-
Much appreciated @disla, would you kindly share the .liml (mecway file). Many Thanks
-
@disla, how did you generate that simply supported BC, is it just selecting those nodes and apply pin support or there is better trick.
-
Many thanks guys for looking into this. @disla, could you kindly point out the opposite normals? I am thinking the normals should be facing each other for the two contact surfaces?
-
Much appreciated @Fatmac, Node shell couplings have always been troublesome for me too. This was a great effort from your side and really appreciate your effort. This gives me a direction to go and would be much careful in the future.

Many Thanks Fatmac, much appreciated.

Hi Fatmac, much appreciated for your response, i am getting decent mesh in Salome as well, however, i am interested in the tube to tube area to be meshed as well, as tis is typical offshore jacket tubular joint not an open pipe. See as per below ima…

Thanks Victor for your response. Good to know this is normal.
-
Much appreciated Sergio.
-
Thanks Sergio, i don't think that there is huge difference between the two solutions, somehow the contact between bolt head and the plate do not well converge. How would apply a bolt pre-load?
-
Thanks Sergio, for looking into this. This is much better. I may need contact between the bolt body and the hole to transfer the shear in real connection. However, it may be a good idea to use a tie between the bolt head and the plate. Much apprecia…

Many thanks Victor for your runs. I was getting first conversion and then nothing which suggests buckling at that small load as you got. I was expecting buckling may be not that earlier, however, there seems to be an issue with the plate. Many Thank…

file attached.

Many thanks Sergio for your heads up. Much appreciated.

Thanks Victor for the heads up.

Wawoo, Many Thanks disla, sorry for my belated response, i did not check my space. This is a great idea to get around to the problem i had, I can see the distribution of forces in the sling from first to the last. Much apprecaited.
-
Cheers Disla, thats a good place to start.
-
Many Thanks Victor, removing spaces from the username sorted the issue. Much appreciated.
-
no luck so far. same error.
-
Thanks disla for your help. Yes , i extracted those to the relevant folder and they are there, as below.

This is for Mecway 18: i am trying below 4)** Compile CCX with MKL and a patch to enable Out-Of-Core (OOC) mode. The source code with step-by-step instructions is in ccx_win64_mkl_pardiso_source_2.19.zip in Mecway's install location. After compilin…

Many thanks for your help.
-
Many Thanks For your assistance, yes you are right, I changed the load for LBA, and could not recall that. Much appreciated.
-
Hi Disla I am trying to verify above LBA by doing a non-linear analysis by exciting the web with a small out of plane load of 100N, i am getting a relatively higher capacity than predicted by the LBA? Could you kindly check whether i am doing this r…

Much appreciated Victor , I am using version 2.17 pradiso.

Many thanks Disla for your input. Much appreciated, I will check your model in the morning. Many thanks again.
