https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/forum/239059/meshing-issueI have been trying to simulate the triaxial test on a UBC PLM sand sample with fibres reinforced into the model. The fibres are assigned as embedded beams. The sample is cylindrical with a diameter of 50mm and 100mm in height. The analysis works fineen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/744601?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 05 Dec 2022 11:28:41 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f1349379-bfdb-469d-97bb-4cb66ae5dea4Stefanos Papavasileiou<p>Hello Shashank,</p> <p>That is indeed a very interesting test.&nbsp;</p> <p>My first question would be if you have tried first with a few fibres rather than importing 4647 objects directly. Simplifying the model can help you get some results, but as Berk mentions, I am not sure how far it can go.</p> <p>I would expect meshing issues and probably pushing the limits of our finite element meshing code to an application that was not really intended for.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/744442?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 04 Dec 2022 13:09:33 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e51bdf7a-c600-405d-8470-e9a365ee7c51Berk Demir<p>Wow! Pretty ambitious. Why did you think a finite element software can analyze this? I can&#39;t imagine a mesh going through these embedded beams.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
