Simulation cyclic loading of the steel beam-column structure and damage investigation in Abaqus

In this tutorial, the Simulation cyclic loading of the steel beam-column structure and damage investigation in Abaqus has been investigated. The beam is modeled as a three-dimensional shell part and two steel columns are modeled as three-dimensional shell part. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below

To model steel beam and columns under cyclic loading, elastic-isotropic plasticity coupled with ductile damage criterion to predict damage during the simulation is used. The kinematic or combine plasticity can be used, but to predict damage the isotropic plasticity and ductile damage can make a better result. The general static step is appropriate for this type of analysis and to avoid early not convergence, some changes are crated in the convergence model. The perfect or ideal contact is used between beam and columns. The general contact algorithm is selected to consider some regions that have interference during the simulation. The fixed boundary condition is assigned to the bottom nodes of the column. The displacement boundary with the cyclic protocol as amplitude is implied for the columns. The mesh should be fine to achieve good results

After the simulation, all results such as stress, strain, damage, failure, force-displacement diagram, and…are achievable. You can see some figures for the results below
