Hello guys,

I am trying to analyse reinforced concrete under cyclic loading using the CPT model, however the solution does not run and always an unknown error obtained. Even though the solution runs while applying only axial load,but application of displacement in x direction results in error.

Here are the snippet commands.

 

ET,MATID,215

 

KEYO,MATID,18,2

 

MP,EX,MATID,25000 ! Define Elasticity Modulus (enter a value for E)

 

MP,NUXY,MATID,0.2 ! Define Poisson's ratio

 

TB,MPLA,1,,,DPC                    !Define Drucker-Prager

 

TBDATA,1,31.368,36.074,3,1,40000,-40   !fuc,fbc,fut,Rt,D,sigVc

 

TBDATA,7,2,0,2e-6,7500,2500         !R,gamt0,gamc0,betat,betac

 

TB,MPLA,1,,,NLOCAL

 

TBDATA,1,1600,2

and following cyclic loading was applied

Please provide some guidance for using CPT for cyclic loading of concrete.
