Respected All,
Thank you very much for your replies.
As Mr.Peter Barrett said I modelled my concrete beam with solid65
element and reinforcements with link180 elements and asssigned these
following properties in ansys workbench.
"
ET,MATID,SOLID65

RMORE,0,0,0,0,0

TB,CONCR,MATID,1,9

and for reinforcements as

MPDATA,EX,matid,,2e5
MPDATA,PRXY,matid,,0.3
TB,BISO,matid,1,2
TBDATA,,355,2100,,,,
R,matid,71.252, ,0

and then I combined the nodes of the link elements and solid65 using
these commands

/PREP7
ESEL,S,ENAME,,65
ESEL,A,ENAME,,180
ALLSEL,BELOW,ELEM
CEINTF,0.00001,
ALLSEL,ALL
/SOLU

and I applied a displacement of 20mm. I got a converged solution. But

as I need to see the crack patterns , I transfered the DS.DAT from WB
to ansys mechanical APDL. I can see the element solutions, But unable
to see the cracks at each step.Could you please tell me How I could
solve this problem and view the cracks at different stages.
Thank you very much for your help.
