Pushover on materials with softening in Abaqus
Mon, 2012-06-11 05:03 -negarkz
hello dear friends,
I am trying to conduct a pushover analysis on a 2D dam model by abaqus.the material is concrete and is modeled by damage plasticity. the problem is because of the softening issue ,while I apply force, the solution would not converge with a low magnitude of load and it remains elastic so I can not obtain a complete pushover curve. I have very little time to get the results so I appreciate anyone who would help.
Thanks

it is so simple.
the structure shoyld be subjected to lateral displacement instead of force.
define allowable displacement according to FEMA or ICOLD.
