Hello,

I am trying to use shape memory alloy as reinforcement inside the concrete. I tried to deal with it like a steel element and I used the reinforcement option in the workbench but it gave me an error same thing happened with the beam option instead of reinforcement. Could anyone help me fix this issue?

Note: I used the superelasticity option in the engineering data and assigned it to the rebar I modeling as SMA. I do not want to have any shape memory effect just the superlasticity( no heat effect).

Hi Husam,

Thanks for sharing. Reinforcement element REINF264 and beam elements BEAM188, BEAM189 do not support Supereleasticity properties.
