Topic: Evaluate a model

good evening

please could I ask for an advise what to do to evaluate a model with the steel concrete composite beam experimental test
I tried to change the concrete strength and the interface material (normal stiffness K NN and tangential stiffnes K tt) ( for the steel concrete contact I put them 7*10^3 MN/m^3 - Friction 0.1)
the elastic region is still short after all the changes .. the plastic moment is always lower than the real test.

any advise please!

Thank you for your concern

Re: Evaluate a model

Dear wajdi.mefleh,
please see Troubleshooting, 2.2.18 My analysis results do not match the experiment/expectations. How can I improve my model? and 2.2.14 I have problems when using the Interface (GAP) material on contacts.

If you can not find the difference source, you can follow Troubleshooting, 2.1.1 to send us your mdoel etc.

Regards.
