Good afternoon KENNEtHFUGATE:
You are right but I do not know why.
I realized that as soon as I increased the time period I got better convergence.
In this case, I began calculations imposing 0-1 seconds range but I end up in 0-1000seconds.
MANUEL
Good morning VICTOR.
About the wrinkle on the edge:
I agree with you, the wrinkle on the edge is nice and MW caught that behaviour perfectly.
In real like, that wrinkle needs to be removed.
To do that, I must must cut off fabric on the edge(modi…
Good morning COMMUNITY, DISLA, VICTOR:
[Thank you very much for your help.]
I have being think about it. You are are right, and I am going to mention some important aspects from your comments:
* The model needs more stiffness,. The fact is, we…
Dear VICTOR
Thank for you replay.
I do not think that the fabric is about to collapse because in this kind of structures all elements work in tension(zero compression allows==wrinkles ) .Let's see
Dear DISLA:
You are absolutely right. I had a lot of convergence troubles last week. I almost struggled and drop my nee.
It is odd to me to be forced to consider 100 seconds as a "total time". I wanted to use 1 seconds (of course).
I am aware abo…
Dear DISLA:
The TENSION_ONLY material only can be declared in "the custom model definition" item because MW does not yet support this material straightforward.
-Regarding 0.0005(in meters according to VICTOR'S directions)=0.5mm. This is the thickn…
GEMADA, I run your analysis. Great job.
Your temperatures over time are almost exactly the ones from the EC2-CONCRETE plot. Big accuracy from you.
MANUEL
I want to point out one thing. I recommend you to consider at least 35mm(nominal cover 25m…
Nice example.
For professional proposes, I use the simplify method(which is conservative) of "a_m " based on tables and the virtual thickness between the reinforcement and the outer and closer exposed concrete face. According to the spanish regulati…
Regarding PROP_DESIGH answer on May16th. (sorry for being late; but here I am)
Good morning PROP_DESIGN:
Dear ANTHONY:
Thank you very much for your reply(on May 16th). I agree with you that “formulas” are a great tool to post-process the analysis…
Dear PROP_DESIGN:
The first of all, congratulations for your nice example posted.
I was wondering if you have extra information or theory about your "vibratory_allowable_stress_MPa_for_XXX" formula embedded in your liml file?
Thank you in advance
…
My apologies for the confusing screenshot I previously sent.
You are absolutely right. I remembered about the mesh quality plug-in from Onelab (gmsh package).
Good morning JASE:
I want to share a couple of thoughts with you:
I do not know in MW but you can certainly do it when you mesh using gmsh(ONELAB-statistics->Mesh).
If I am not mistaken, you can query about this info when using SALOME-MECA.
…
Sergio, last week I copied the displacements over time (of a single node )into an excel file in order to determine velocities and accelerations.
And I also plotted the results.
I must admit this is stuff and you can be wrong anytime due to hand m…
Good afternoon JRP:
I enclose a 3d model involving weldings.
I know that this is not what you are asking for. However, I think you might find it usefull.
In this case, I phisically defined the welding and used "bonded contact" option to link the …
Good afternoon DISLA:
My name is MANUEL MARTÍN, spanish architect specialiced in structure calculation.
(I am not a student, I'd wish I could be one, but not).
I will let you know about the progress in my library!!!
Regards
MANUEL
Good morning DISLA:
Thank you very much for your comments and your contributions.
You are absolutely right, the beam element used in MC engines only considers axial and flexural stiffness. Besides, I also wanted to include rotational springs into …
Good morning Victor:
I enclose you a scheme(brief summary) of the model of the partially release end frame.
I need the MPC to transfer displacements from end of the frame which is a theoretical zero-length joint until the rest of the 3d frame. With …
Good morning VICTOR:
Actually the 3D model includes a distributed mass over the top of the slab representing:
First: the dead load from the steps
Second: from 10-20% of the life load.
