ANSYS 2020 Tutorial: Reinforced Concrete T-Joint
ANSYS Workbench V2020 R2 Tutorial for a Reinforced Concrete T-Joint using CPT215 Elements with Reinforcement type option in Mechanical.
**NOTE: You must use the same version of ANSYS 2020 R2. There are reports that newer versions of ANSYS no longer work with this tutorial.**
I demonstrate how to use the latest modeling technology to simulate a reinforced concrete T-joint using Ansys Workbench version 2020 R2. In this example The simulation results will be compared to that of actual experimental results.
This tutorial we will go over importing the geometry, setting boundary conditions where we will fix the column in place and apply a displacement of 80mm downwards at the end of the beam, and finally go over viewing the results which include the homogenized tension & compression damage by using APDL commands:
PLNSOL,MPDP,TOTA: Homogenized total damage (TOTA)
PLNSOL,MPDP,COMP: Homogenized tension damage (TENS)
PLNSOL,MPDP,TENS: Homogenized compression damage (COMP)
PLNSOL,MPDP,RW: Split weight factor (RW)
We will also be using CPT215 elements (Drucker-Prager Microplane Model) and the Reinforcement Type option within Mechanical to model the rebar. This is an improvement compared to my previous video which uses SOLID65 elements and REINF265 commands.

I´ve seen thousands of videos about Ansys, and for sure this is best guy. The quality of the video, the speaking, the way he teaches, the absence of errors (modifying if so), the saving time and of course what he teaches. Everything is perfect. Please do not change anything on further videos. Please more videos about Microplane Model.
Thank you for coming back. Your tutorial is the best.

Wow, thanks!
great job, thank you very much for sharing. For your information, I repeated this simulation with version 2023 R1 and the idea provided in tutorial works. Results are however slightly different - in the first phase it is almost identical as Ansys Inc., then, after reaching peak force reaction the softening happens faster (results go belowe experimental curve), however it is still satisfying. I will play later with analysis settings and check the correlation. Thanks once again!

Great video. Can you do transient structural analysis on gears?
Thanks for your model, it's really inspiring. I've one question: ¿is this model able to simulate cracking and crushing? It seems that Drucker-Prager concrete is a kind of plastic material since there's not a decrease in its stress when tension strength is reached. What I mean is, is there a way to combine steel reinforcement (via REINF264 elements) with cracking-crushing concrete (via SOLID65 elements with CONCRETE model)? Thanks in advance and br!
Dr.Dalyo, what video did you use EREINF apdl command?
This is really great. May I know about the details of contact for reinforcements and concrete?

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Can Ansys simulate the pinching effect in hysteresis behavior of reinforced concrete beam-column joint under cyclic loading by using available concrete materials in Ansys?

Dear Dr. Please tell me if that CPT215 is better than Solid 65 regarding application of Cyclic loading on RC columns? by other meaning, can it considers the shear reduction of concrete during cyclic loading to can get accurate results under cyclic loading ?

Very well explained. I tried to recreate the model and managed to run it without any error till 50th iteration. It is showing some error after 50th iteration saying cpu time exceeded. I tried with turing large deflection off and managed to run till 62 iterations. Still I'm able to see partial results. I have some other doubts too. Can we use CPT215 with tetrahedron elements? I saw Drucker-Prager Base model in Engineering data with Uniaxial Compressive and Tensile strength and Biaxial compressive strength. Can we use it instead of the code ?
