    Cohesive elements do not converge when combined with ductile damage

    Hello, I have a model consisting of three components: Fibre (Isotropic), Interface (Cohesive Elements) and Matrix (Ductile Damage). If I run the model without the ductile damage, it works fine -> Interface fails If I run the model without the interface, it works fine (second picture) ->...

    Explicit Model won't work

    Hello everyone, I thought I had it figured out, but somehow my explicit model won't work. I have a very simple part (5x5): with a relatively fine mesh (0.1): Only Density, Elastic and Plastic properties were definded: I somehow suspect, that the units are responsible. I use the...

    Abaqus error message: "REAL VALUE FOR PARAMETER RELATIVE MUST BE BETWEEN 2.22000E-16 AND 1.0000

    Hello, the title says it pretty much. I have an error message that I don't know how to address: REAL VALUE FOR PARAMETER RELATIVE MUST BE BETWEEN 2.22000E-16 AND 1.0000 I haven an explicit model that works fine with normal boundary conditions: Fixed support at the bottom and displacement at...

    Cohesive Elements in a single part -> How to implement contact?

    Hello everyone, I am trying to model a fiber reinforced part: This is a single part with internal boundaries. The white/grey area represent cohesive elements. Now I am wondering how I can deal with compressive failure of the cohesive elements. Once the cohesive elements fail, there is no...
