Reply To: Concrete embedded steel components

Hi,

About the contact most of it depends upon the results you are looking for. If you want find if there is any relative motion in between your steel component and concrete you should definetly go for frictional contact. For solving other cases Bonded contact should work fine. 

Frictional contact will also work fine with you simulation but will increase the simulation time.
