How to incorporate a new constitutive model?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I'm a graduate student and I'm a new user of COMSOL. I'm modeling reinforced concrete columns, and it doesn't appear there is a built-in concrete model capable of simulating the loss of strength/stiffness once the concrete in tension has cracked. I have a constitutive model I would like to use but I'm not sure how to put the equations into COMSOL. Can anyone tell me how I can put my own constitutive models into COMSOL or if there is already one capable of doing this that I'm unaware of?

Thanks in advance!
