Hello,nI would like to ask if anyone could help me guiding me how to simulate fiber reinforced concrete and/or textile reinforced concrete?nThank you in advance.n

Hello @konsmi,nThere are several posts on the forum regarding reinforced concrete. This one may provide you with some good starting point. Can you please check that out and see if that helps? Thank youn

Thank you @sharvey and @DavidW , I understand this section for reinforced. concrete . But I need to make CFRP concrete like tihs photo.https://us.v-cdn.net/6032193/uploads/UBB0W1M7VK38/image.pngI didn't use APDL up to present. I started a discussion for this topic. Mr.Wenlog said I need to use apdl. I wonder your thoughts on this subject. I have a curtain wall with concrete like the photo above. How do you model ? (you have a fiber volume for 1 m^3 concrete)https://forum.ansys.com/discussion/21539/reinforced-carbon-fiber-concrete#latestRegardsOguzhanAhttps://forum.ansys.com/discussion/comment/96549#Comment_96549

Thank you very much Mr. sharvey for your response.nI figured out that Material Deisgner can simulate these micro scale materials like fibers and textiles and then include them in explicit or static structural models. Is that right? Could I simulate for example textile reinforcement in cocnrete with Ansys PrePost?nThank you in advance.nRegardsn

nApologies on delay. If you are looking to use Material Designer for concrete, then you can use it to capture the orthotropic material behavior of say fiber/textile reinforced concrete. If you have regions with and without reinforcements, or varying reinforcements, you can use multiple material models for different regions.nYou can then either Ansys Mechanical with this material that comes for Material Designer.. You do not need ACP, unless your orientations are complex (lots of curvature, bends, etc.) or if you wish to build a layup of material, or solid model of the layup.nYou can use the resulting material properties from Material Designer in implicit static structural/dynamics, etc. as well as explicit.nFailure of materials can also be explored and there are many failure theories and methods between implicit and explicit.nIf you are interested in more complex non-linear behavior in explicit, then I suggest you inquire in the other forum group https://forum.ansys.com/categories/explicit-dynamicsnI hope this helps!nnRegards,nSea
