I tried using the rigid plate method. However, as I am using MMALE solver because I want to apply blast load on the beam, the element formulation is n...

@negativevolume Thanks for the input. I am currently still unable to hold the loading on the beam. I know that my beam has not failed yet as I have ...

@negativevolume Hi, thanks for replying. I am trying to apply a total of 600kN onto the entire top surface of my beam. There are a total of 875 node...

@arafat_alam From what I understand, when I imported a IGES file into Ls-Dyna, the program will automatically convert all faces to shell elements. Y...

@negativevolume In the end, I remembered modelling my I-beam using shell or solid elements. I was not able to model the I-beam using beam element. M...

@negativevolume Thanks for your suggestions. I will try out your solutions.

@negativevolume Thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant visually. When I changed the size of my rebar in Section_Beam, visually the difference in the size ...

@negativevolume The tracer setting under DATABASE. I wanted to study the velocity at certain points on my model. It did resolved this issue for one of...

@negativevolume Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly conduct an element check on my model. However, I hoped I may have found the issue in m...

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I tried your suggestion but got stuck halfway through. However, I was able to mesh my model with a different method. Fi...

@negativevolume I have the 3D model of the drawing I provided.
