Topic: two constitutive models in the same analysis

Hi,

It's possible to use two constitutive models in the same analysis ?  Fracture-Plasticity model for RC frame and Damage model for Masonry panel. Are there any special precautions ?

Thanks

Re: two constitutive models in the same analysis

Hello, mixing several material models in one analysis is not a problem in ATENA. However, I don't know what you mean by "Damage model"? For masonry, we generally recommend the fracture-plastic material model (NLCem2), but I can imagine in some cases, Drucker-Prager may work well, too.
