Request for Guidance on Applying Pressure-Time History to Structural Analysis in Kratos

[engrjessie]

Hello everyone,

I’m new to Kratos and currently trying to use it for my research. I have successfully compiled Kratos on my machine and integrated it with GiD. However, I’m having difficulty understanding how to proceed with applying a pressure-time history (obtained from OpenFOAM simulations) to a structural analysis, particularly for masonry infills. I really wanted to try new things for structural analysis that is why I'm trying my best to learn Kratos and use it for my research.

My objective is to evaluate the structural response of these infills under the given pressure-time history using Kratos. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to start. Can I do it in the Kratos-GiD module? Or if not, how to use the compiled version of Kratos on my machine.

Specifically, I am looking for help with:

• Importing and applying the pressure-time data from OpenFOAM.
• Setting up the structural model and boundary conditions for masonry infills (in Kratos or GiD).
• Any useful documentation, tutorials, or examples that could help me get started.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Greetings, there is CoSimulation integration between Kratos and OpenFOAM. Take a look at this:
