Topic: FRP model

I am interested to generate a model as per following way, is it possible to generate thr' ATENA? and HOW?

First case
(1)  simple R/C Beam , apply a load, then unloaded, then strengthen with FRP

another case

(2)beam loaded to service, without unloading strengthened with FRP while loaded then continue loading upto failure

Please guide me whether it is possible with ATENA ?

Re: FRP model

Please read the sections "3.8.2.1 Construction cases" and "3.8.2.2.4 Properties" (of macroelements) in the ATENA 3D User's Manual.

Re: FRP model

If you nee to model construction process in ATENA 2D, please follow the "Tutorial for Construction Process Modelling in ATENA 2D".

Another way is to create the 2D model in GiD (ATENA Sci, see the ATENA Science Example Manual, Chapter 2.2 Tutorial for Construction Process).
