Non-linear Material

Hello,

I’m quite new wo Sofistik and i’m using Material Nr. 4 in my project and I would like it to consider it a non-linear material. I’ve taken a look at the examples (nonlinear beam, etc.) but I don’t find or understand the solution.

These are my materials:

I’m aware of the two languages I use, but I couldn’t find a way to translate the code.
Thank’s for any hint :slight_smile:

Hi Sofim,

you can perform a material-nonlinear calculation of QUAD elements with ASE (NMAT YES in ASE, see chapter 2.12). The material laws of concrete, steel and textile are available. Therefore the masonry walls would then have to be given a modified concrete material (obviously because masonry is not available) for this.

In case of a mixed system with reinforced concrete elements (e.g. slabs), you must explicitly exclude the wall elements from the “normal” design process as otherwise all QUAD elements with concrete material (so therefore also the walls!) will be considered for the design process.

The selection of the desired elements can be done via the records ELEM/NODE or GRP in BEMESS. Then you should add the groups of the elements to be designed, e.g. with GRP 100 (if 100 are slabs or whatever).

For your information: In our Teddy example collection you will also find an example of a non-linear masonry calculation under …\ase.dat\english\nonlinear_quad\arch_bridge.dat

Cheers

Btw. you can easily change the language by pressing CTRL+Q+T on your keyboard or clicking the translate button; check the screenshot below
