Shear Brickwall

[Jamildouier]

Hi, thank you very much. Everything worked. But when I get to the calculations, the results come out with a linear progression. The gradient should have this shape. I tried the character. Reduce values ​​but the results still remain the same. Do you know where that could be?

Hi, You can play with ASDConcrete3D material's plasticity and damage parameters (pdf_t and pdf_c) to achieve the proper loop.

Hello, I tried playing with the Damage parameter but it still didn't work. But I noticed that when I go to post processor and want to select the result in Data, the damage option doesn't appear even though I modeled the bricks and mortar with the type DamageTC3D. Could that be the problem? And do you have any idea how to fix it?

Did you select the proper result? material.damage for solids or section.fiber.damage for shells?

Hi, sorry, that was my mistake. I did it and the damage option appeared. The graphic still shows the linear progression, even though I did everything that was discussed here. Do you have any idea what else the error could be?

[Jamildouier]

It looks like this. I even tried playing with the vertical loads, the damage parameters and the character values ​​but it still doesn't work. Is this due to the model itself, so that the graphic does not look as intended or no matter what the model is, does the graphic have to look like the one above?

Hi, Please check it under "Gauss point plot"

Hi, I checked it and I checked your model that you drew on YouTube and uploaded to your website in your model list. I have found that with both models there is no deformation or vibration from the top edge of the wall. That's why the wall has a linear course in the displacement force diagram. Where could that be?
I mean here when I'm at post processor. In terms of modeling and analysis, everything worked.

[Jamildouier]

I just realized that this could be due to the model, could that be correct?
Because I even removed the fixed rotation at the top edge of the 2 models so that they are no longer fixed from above, but they still have the same course.

The damage is really small so it makes sense you see an almost linear behavior. Please check that you are imposing the load correctly or that the material parameters are correct. Or share your file
