We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

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.
