FEM MaterialReinforced
Description
Creates a reinforced matrix material. It combines a matrix material (e.g. concrete) and a reinforcement material (e.g. steel).
Usage
- To create a new MaterialReinforced object do the following:
- Click the
Reinforced material (concrete) button or choose the Model → Materials → Reinforced material (concrete) option from the menu.
- Click the
- To edit an existing MaterialReinforced object:
- Double-click it in the Tree view.
- Select the matrix material.
- Optionally press the Edit button to edit its properties. The following material properties have to be defined: Young\'s modulus, Poisson\'s ratio, compressive strength and angle of friction.
- Select the reinforcement material.
- Optionally press the Edit button to edit its properties. A yield strength has to be defined.
Notes
- In the CalculiX solver settings, one has to set Material Nonlinearity to linear if FEM MaterialMechanicalNonlinear is not used.
- More information about this feature, and an example of its usage, can be found in Analysis of reinforced concrete with FEM.
- For a video tutorial (based on the FEM Tutorial) that uses this tool, watch: FEM MaterialReinforced tutorial.
