Simulates frictional behaviour for heterogeneous material such as reinforced concrete, etc.<br />

Provides 5 interface models to describe nonlinear behaviour of heterogeneous material<br />

at contact surfaces<br />

Interface Model: Coulomb Friction, Discrete Cracking, Crack Diatancy, Bond-slip,Combined<br />

(Cracking-Shearing-Crushing)<br />

Perform contact analysis for structural parts (joint & connections) to simulate connections,<br />

cyclic loadings and contact frequency (Considering linear and nonlinear material models)<br />

Penalty method assigned for springs between contact surface and node<br />
