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?
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.
Hi, I created a crack in metal layer bonded with composites. Then, it came out
"MATERIAL ALONG THE CRACKFRONT MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE FOR THE CALCULATION OF K FACTORS"
Can we calculate stress intensity K in hybrid materials?
