Hi everyone,
i need to model uncofined RC beam , i choosed the con_cc model ,and I put factor of confinement equal to 1, my question is how to know the ultimate concrete strain capacity, as i realise it's not mentioned in parameters defining the con_cc model.
thanks in advance.

Dear zed,

If you follow the stress-strain response of a given 'Stress Point' (we recommend this to be done within the scope of a static nonlinear analysis of a column that is axially loaded), you should be able to readily obtain the answer to your query.
