Solid 65 ANSYS
SOLID65 is used for the three-dimensional modeling of solids with or without reinforcing bars (rebars). The
solid is capable of cracking in tension and crushing in compression. In concrete applications, for example, the
solid capability of the element may be used to model the concrete while the rebar capability is available for
modeling reinforcement behavior. Other cases for which the element is also applicable would be reinforced
composites (such as fiberglass), and geological materials (such as rock). The element is defined by eight nodes
having three degrees of freedom at each node: translations in the nodal x, y, and z directions. Up to three
different rebar specifications may be defined.
The concrete element is similar to the SOLID45 (3-D Structural Solid) element with the addition of with special
cracking and crushing capabilities. The most important aspect of this element is the treatment of nonlinear
material properties. The concrete is capable of cracking (in three orthogonal directions), crushing, plastic
deformation, and creep. The rebars are capable of tension and compression, but not shear. They are also
capable of plastic deformation and creep. See Section 14.65 of the ANSYS Theory Reference for more details
about this element.

The data listed in Table 4.65-1a is entered in the data table with the TB commands. Data not input are assumed
to be zero, except for defaults described below. The constant table is started by using the TB command (with
Lab=CONCR). Up to eight constants may be defined with the TBDATA commands following a temperature
definition on the TBTEMP command. Up to six temperatures (NTEMP=6 maximum on the TB command) may
be defined with the TBTEMP commands. The constants (C1-C9) entered on the TBDATA commands (6 per
command), after each TBTEMP command, are:

Biaxial crushing stress (positive) under the ambient hydrostatic stress state (constant 6).
Uniaxial crushing stress (positive) under the ambient hydrostatic stress state (constant 6).
Stiffness multiplier for cracked tensile condition, used if KEYOPT(7)=1 (defaults to 0.6).
Absence of the data table removes the cracking and crushing capability. A value of -1 for constant 3 or 4 also
removes the cracking or crushing capability, respectively. If constants 1-4 are input and constants 5-8 are
omitted, the latter constants default as discussed in Section 4.7 of the ANSYS Theory Reference. If any one of
Constants 5-8 are input, there are no defaults and all 8 constants must be input.

1. Concrete solution item (output for each integration point (if KEYOPT(5)=1) and the centroid)
2. The element status table (Table 4.65-2b) uses the following terms:
Crushed - solid is crushed.
Open - solid is cracked and the crack is open.
Closed - solid is cracked but the crack is closed.
Neither - solid is neither crushed nor cracked.
3. Rebar solution item repeats for each rebar
4. Concrete nonlinear integration point solution (if KEYOPT(6)=3 and the element has a nonlinear material)
5. Rebar nonlinear integration point solution (if KEYOPT(6)=3 and the rebar has a nonlinear material)

information. The following notation is used in Table 4.65-3:
Name - output quantity as defined in the Table 4.65-2
Item - predetermined Item label for ETABLE command
I,J,...,P - sequence number for data at nodes I,J,...,P
IP - sequence number for Integration Point solution items
