    Integral contour on COHESIVE elements?

    Try orphan mesh-->Edit mesh (solid or layer off-set). You can find out in the documentation. By the way, in your two-part cohesive model, can you delete the elemetn once it failed?

    How to pick up inner elements from orphan mesh?

    Thanks. I see. Is it possible to create 2-d element in 3-D enviroment? I mean to assign a section to a surface set.

    How to pick up inner elements from orphan mesh?

    Hi, I have three elements in thickness direction of an orphan mesh. How can I pick up the inner layer as an element set in abaqus/cae?

    Integral contour on COHESIVE elements?

    Hi, I used cohesive element with traction-separation option to simulation debonding of two parts (Quade failure criteria is used)? In the integral contour of cohesive zone, it is force distribution or stress(Mises) distribution? I am confused.

    Crack in metal tied with composites?

    Hi, I created a crack in metal layer bonded with composites. Then, it came out "MATERIAL ALONG THE CRACKFRONT MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE FOR THE CALCULATION OF K FACTORS" Can we calculate stress intensity K in hybrid materials?

    How to debug SUBROUTINE before running a job?

    Hi, it is possible that we can debug SUBRONTINE UMAT(...) before we included it in a job?
