how to embed cohesive surface between all element surfaces
how to embed cohesive surface between all element surfaces
(OP)
Hi all,
I want to simulate crack propagation using abaqus. My idea is to add surface-based cohesive behavior to all
the faces between elements. Thus, different element can be separaed. I have very regular mesh. Could anyone let me know how to define the surfaces between elements? Thanks.

RE: how to embed cohesive surface between all element surfaces
it's probably not an efficient method.
