Finite Element Concrete Analysis Fundamentals & Applications

This SI Webinar provides an introduction to finite element analysis of concrete structures and components using ANSYS® and LS-DYNA® codes. Fundamentals of concrete behavior are presented as they relate to concrete material models available in both finite element codes. The Webinar includes modeling of concrete cracking, modeling reinforcement, how to use the ANSYS concrete element in non-linear analysis, new ANSYS features for modeling concrete, and an overview of the material models for concrete in LS-DYNA.
