Hello,

I am trying to use "Rubber1" material in strengthening an RC column to resist blast load using AutoDyn GUI. this message appears when I use it to fill a 5 cm layer part as "strengthening".

Side note: I am using Lagrange model for the Rubber1 material.

I figured that the EOS of the material is hyperplastic which is already set in the material list in the Autodyn (predefined material model), How do I use it proberly? I tried Sand and it went very well. I want to use Rubber material but I am not sure what I need to do. Also, if there is another EOS for Rubber, is there any reference in which setting values for it such as "bulk modulus, etc..."?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Ahmed,

Unfortunately this question is beyond the scope for ANSYS employees to answer on a public forum, so hopefully other users can chime in.
