Hello,
I try to model a composite slab using thin-walled sheeting with embossments in Atena-GID.
The problem is how to model the thin-walled sheeting (1mm thickness). I need to see a deformation of the sheeting perpendicular to its plane. I use Steel VonMises 3D material and tetrahedra elements. But concrete block is deformed instead of the thin-walled sheeting during the calculation. The calculation is aborded due to violation of stop iteration criteria and the shape returns to its initial stage.
If there is a necessity to set up large deformations for calculation, then how to do it? Or how to set up the sheeting to be deformed?Thank you in advance
Josef
