Reply To: Drop test on FRP wrapped beam

[Prasad Adhav]

Dear Mr. Reno,

Thank you so much for such an elaborative reply. I shall add new material properties for M35 grade concrete.

The meshing was program controlled, as you said I changed it to Explicit and linear preferences. However, it responded with following errors. The model is a reinforced concrete beam with FRP wrapping at the mid span, modelled as surfaces attached to the solid RC beam.

Regarding LS-DYNA solvers, I am using Ansys 2024 R1 Student version. I could neither find the directory v242 nor the LS DYNA solvers. Shall I reinstall ansys? or is there any other module that I can use for drop test?

Thank you so much for your help,

Sincere regards, 

Prasad Adhav.
