Hello, sorry for my English, it is not very good.
I have to model a reinforced concrete beam in pure bending to compare the results with a real test of a beam of the same material. The data I have about the material are the Youngs modulus, the Poisson ratio, the stress-strain curve in compression of the concrete, f'c. I entered all this data thinking that it was enough to simulate the failure of the test and the deformation obtained when applying the corresponding loads, but I have not obtained results similar to the test. My question is why if I enter the value of the tensile ultimate strength, the model does not generate flexural failures when exceeding this value in normal stresses. I would be very grateful if you help me solve this problem, because this work is related to my thesis.

Hello,

The strength are used for stress tool calculations. You can find more details from the Mechanical user's guide > Using results > Structural results > Stress Tools

I need to find information about the maximum tensile pressure option to be able to define it in my material or understand the impact that this option generates in the material, could you tell me where I can find this information please? (Opcion destacada en cuadro rojo).
