Integral contour on COHESIVE elements?

Integral contour on COHESIVE elements?

Integral contour on COHESIVE elements?

(OP)
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.

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?
