Chip Formation issue in Explicit/ Dynamcs in ABAQUS

Chip Formation issue in Explicit/ Dynamcs in ABAQUS

(OP)
I am doing a VMC cutter simulation in ABAQUS of the explicit/dynamics type. The deformation model being followed is Johnson-Cook. The work-piece material is Al-6065 and the cutter is assumed to be a rigid shell. The deformation is taking place but the chips are not being formed and yes, element deletion is enabled for the work-piece.

RE: Chip Formation issue in Explicit/ Dynamcs in ABAQUS

Hi,
Are the elements distorting like if they are without stiffness?
Check the picture im attaching (post processing). Maybe that can fix it. Remove elements with "broken" status.
