Delete element Abaqus/Standard

(OP)
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my abaqus model. I want delete elements (truss) when they reach yield stress. What type of criterion can I use in *DAMAGE INITIATION command? I made some tests with DUCTILE, but it didn't work very well.
Best regards

RE: Delete element Abaqus/Standard

You probably also need *Damage Evolution, because *Damage Initiation is just a marker that initiates the damage process when one of his criteria is fulfilled.

You will find examples in the manuals. Have a look at the Example Problems Manual and the Verfication Manual.
