Element Removal for shell element

(OP)
thread799-394697: Removing failed elements from display
Hello, I am new to Abaqus, my model is a masonry wall modelled with shell element (S4R) impacted with a rigid impactor(C3D8R) having velocity 5.56m/sec. As literature says that there should be an opening created in the wall. When I am running my analysis, then the model get terminated after some time ( deformation found is very high), and the impactor also does not able to pass through it even though I used element deletion option. Can anyone suggest how can I make impactor to penetrate through it?
