Dear all
 
I have the following problem
I'm modelling a bond shear model. I have three diffrent material:
A  bar; An adhesive and a Concrete block. The bar is completely embedded to the adhesive that is connected to the concrete block with an Interface (type Bond Slip).
If I apply a load to the bar I can run the model
If I apply the load in function of the time, by setting a function, when I try to create the Dat file I receive the following message:
 
Warning(7066): Illegal function specified for Bond Slip, specified function can not be converted.
Line 17782: , 1, 1., 1.
 
 
Someone can explain me the meaning???
Thanks in advance

Dear Apalmier,
This warning is generated due to a conflict in the current DIANA versions between the interface material function identifier and (non)spatial function identifiers when the model is transferred from FX+ to DIANA. This bug already has been resolved and the bug fix will be included in the next DIANA version.
As a workaround for your DIANA version, you should either remove the interface material function and specify the bond-slip behaviour in either the MeshEditor or in the data file itself, or remove the time function for the loading and add the 'TIMELO' table in the datafile later.
Another option is to export the model as fxd-file in FX+ and modify this fxd-file, but his requires some knowledge of the data format in the fxd-file. Some information on the records in the fxd file can be found in Appendix A of Volume FX+ for DIANA of the DIANA manual. Contact DIANA support in case you need further help.
Best regards,
Jonna Manie

Dear Jonna
 
Thanks for the explanation and the help.
I follow your advice and I create the bond slip relation directly in the Data file, and it works.
Thanks again.
Best Regards
Apalmier
