ABAQUS Tutorial Masonry Wall modeling and analysis

[@murathanozer6616]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Glad it was helpful!

Hi sir do we have to create reference point for pushover analysis? (for stone masonry building)

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Yes you can .

[@SRUTHI20MST101]

@@KSSE_Engineer Thank You sir

[@alatishewasiu7366]

Thank you very much for the video, would you suggest i use the Drucker Prager parametry for an interlocking brick wall without mortar in between them?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Sure you can.

[@alatishewasiu7366]

Hello, can you please provide your contact, i would like to reach out to you on a personal stuff. I would be glad if we can make this happen.

[@sumbulfatima3410]

Hello, have you modeled interlocking brick masonry

[@SRUTHI20MST101]

Hi sir, I downloaded the file you uploaded for further understanding but the analysis gets aborted with errors "Numerical Singularity" , "Negative Eigenvalues" and "convergence issues". Any suggestion sir?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Just follow the instructions in the video you will definitely get the results without any errors,

[@TruthRevealer.]

Thankyou very much for sharing inp file... i request if you can model the same using interlocking brick with dry stacking for push over study.... actually i have a dessertation next monday so if possible please upload a video for same in this week only..... thankyou once again... big help....

[@TruthRevealer.]

i have modelled interlocking brick (full brick & half brick) if you say so i will upload a drive link to it....

[@sumbulfatima3410]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. But why the values of dilation angle, friction abd flow stress ratio do not match with reference paper that you followed

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Actually, I didn't verify the paper experiment.

[@sumbulfatima3410]

@@KSSE_Engineer Have you used your own input values?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

@@sumbulfatima3410 All things are explained in the video and the paper link is give you can use the materials.

@@KSSE_Engineer Respected sir, I have to follow the values of given paper, but I can't match the values with the video. Therefore I am feeling trouble. And sorry to disturb you...I need help

Can you help me in modelling the masonry wall under out of plane loading using airbag?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

First try by yourself if there is any specific problem then let us to know.

[@pranoydebnath7148]

@@KSSE_Engineer can you share any mail id to share the problem of the model?

[@bustanfatmawarsi8912]

Thank you for this detailed video. I've a doubt sir, if I need to simulate wall under in plane and out of plane loading condition, is compression and tensile test of concrete is enough (for material input) or we need to do some extra test at material characterization level for Simulation? Thank you in advance, sir.

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Hi dear , the material is a very sensitive parameter if you do a test that will be better and you can get a better result which will be very close to the experimental work and you can do further parametric analysis.

@@KSSE_Engineer Sir, how to make a hysteretic curve in this model and what is the exact difference between a pushover curve and hysteretic curve?

[@SRUTHI20MST101]

Hi sir, I have another doubt. I am not able to assign element type in meshing module. I tried making the parts independent and applying-it did not work. I also tried making them dependent again to assign element type to parts instead of assembly. That didn't work either. Can you please help sir

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Just follow this video the problem can be solved.

[@SRUTHI20MST101]

@@KSSE_Engineer Sir i tried following the video. In the meshing module seed instance is discussed however assign element type was not discussed so should i skip "element type"

[@KSSE_Engineer]

3D solid element.

[@SRUTHI20MST101]

​@@KSSE_Engineer Thank you for taking the time to respond, sir. In the Mesh Control section, I initially attempted to apply Hex meshing, but it wasn't successful. Subsequently, I applied Tet (Free) meshing, which worked. For the seed instance, I used a global seed size of 50mm. However, when I attempted to assign the 3D stress element type (C3D10), it didn't work. I tried adjusting the seed size by both increasing and decreasing it, and then reapplying the element type, but the issue persisted. I also tried applying the linear geometric order (C3D4) for a 4-node tetrahedron element, but that too wasn't applied. To provide context, this is a dry stone model with homogeneous walls and simple geometry, so I'm unsure why the meshing process is encountering these difficulties :(

Can you help me in modelling the interlocking concrete blocks masonry wall under compression load.

[@yusuffmusbau1140]

I am working on similar thing, though mine is interlocking concrete hollow blocks

[@KSSE_Engineer]

I can provide you a paid service.

[@hibalabrunette2467]

thanks for your efforts to help us , i would like to ask you something if you don't mind how can i model grout material in abaqus .

[@KSSE_Engineer]

You can define the mortar or grout’s as separate parts and use cohesive contact.

[@hibalabrunette2467]

@@KSSE_Engineer is it the same way of defining concrete CDP ??

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Yes

[@hibalabrunette2467]

@@KSSE_Engineer could you provide me with CDP for grout !!

i have done exactly what is shown for interlocking brick but meshing is not happening...

Do again

Hello sir, can you please upload video related to the exact values and results used in the article that you sent please

[@corpuzlarryjoenagasao15]

Thank you for the video sir! Is this applicable for the analysis of precast wall panels?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Yes ,

[@Ahmed-pr7zx]

this file is not editable I cant edit the geometry of the part(full brick) because you have give us only inp file

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Watch the video and model them.

[@tharunkumar4683]

Hello, have you added mortar in this masonry wall?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Hi, plz Check the video carefully

[@LuminaStudyLoft]

Hi sir, what is the analysis called ?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Static Pushover

[@dirlisertaghrulghazi5969]

thanx

[@KSSE_Engineer]

You're welcome!

[@ajazmahemoodsayyed4122]

Amazing sir, how can I download this software with crack? Second sir can I design the the whole building in this software?

[@KSSE_Engineer]

Yes, But a little difficult. Just I am using it for my research proposal and partially for small structures and devices. for download just google it .

[@alirezasiadat7057]

Hi Ajaz .. people do not use abaqus for design as it is not that user friendly like ETABS, SAP, or STAAD Pro ... On the other hand Abaqus doesn't have many of the pre-defined design tools that CSI and Bentley software have ... Abaqus is mostly used for analysis

[@alirezasiadat7057]

Not comprehensive … maybe you could teach how to create the basic elements

[@KSSE_Engineer]

What do you mean?

[@alirezasiadat7057]

@@KSSE_Engineer I mean some people are eager to learn Abaqus from scratch and cannot create parts (like brick) on their own. So it can be a good idea to explain things from A to Z because people usually like to get the whole thing in one package these days.

@@alirezasiadat7057 ok, I will try to provide basic tutorials and step-by-step.
