Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have viewed the tutorials and followed them step by step, but the analysis was interrupted due to some mistakes that I cannot identify.
Last time I build a plain concrete model under static load and the result (loading vs deflection graph) was pretty good, this time I tried to build a steel fibre reinforced concrete under cyclic loading ( the load range was provided by my teacher), so based on my old model, I did some modification as listed below
1) change the 'Solid Concrete' properties into 'Cementitious 2', mateiral prototype 'CC3DNonLinCementitious2Fatigue' ( i am using atena science)
2) add a monitor for EXTERNAL FORCES at the loading point
3) add six internal data ( this process I am not sure if the interval multiplier and load steps are correct or not)
4) click on 'Write Fatigue Applied Cycles Monitor' in Problem data-> global options

Please let me know if there is any mistake about these four steps and anything i need to improve. since i have prescribed force level in each cycle ( 0 kN->22kN->40 kN ->11kN ->40 kN ->11 kN), I have no idea about how to apply these loads in the 'Interval Data'. If possible, could you please give me some advice?

with best regards

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. but my deflection vs number of cycles graph is a strainght line which is impossible. could you help me to check the model.

with best regards

Dear sir

i want to apply cyclic loading (Deflection controlled;     
FIRST CYCLE( 0-5-0)mm,
Second cycle (0-10-0)
and so on up to deflection of 75 mm).
Please help to model

Regards:     Balvir Singh

hello Sir
i tried my model for cyclic loading up to 25 mm deflection as per Atena manual 3.1.1 with increase of 5 mm after each cycle. results  are not appropriate  and  shows no. of warnings.  i want to model it for 13 no. of cycles(65 mm deflection with increase of 5mm in each cycle) but not able to understand the problem.

Can you please check my model?

Thanks and regards
Balvir Singh

Dear Balvir Singh,
1. for the most frequent sources of numericla problems, please see Troubleshooting, 2.4.6 Floating point problems - Division by zero, Loss of >7 digits on the matrix diagonal, CCFEModelExc: CCPardiso solver error: zero pivot,  Warning: Sign of diagonal changed when reducing equation, Floating point exception: Multiple floating points traps, Zero or negative jacobian,  InvertA: zero determinant, CCMaterials Extended AExc: CC5ParamYield F: project_stress_on_f_division by zero, and similar.

2. If you still can not solve the problem, you can follow Troubleshooting, 2.1.1 to send us your model etc.

Regards.
