Purpose of this page is to show how simple examples of fresh concrete casting simulations can be done using OOFEM. Examples of input files with an appropriate description can be found here.

• ==V-funnel simulation==

V-funnel problem is one of the first problem, that was modeled. It is focused on boundary condition influence. In it's easiest form is modeled in 2D. The geometry is shown at figure below.

On the next picture is mesh used for simulation.

The link below contains input file of V-funnel simulation for OOFEM program. It is a text file containing specifications of about geometry (mesh), physics (constitutive model) and numerical solver.

• ==Slump flow test==

Slump flow test is a typical test for verifying the effect of yield stress. Here, it is modeled as an axisymmetric problem and Abrams cone geometry was considered (on the pic. below)
