I had a post quite recently concerning to find strain energy release in dent growth induced by buckling, I have problems running that/finding a way to get the rates so I am trying another approach with spring elements, SPRING1.
They actually comply alot better with existing theory. Anyway,

Hi !
I'm modelling a sandwich structure using one part which I have partioned into a core block and a face sheet. The core is elastic-perfect plastic and the face sheet with engineering constants. Initially I have a quarter circle without core support so to simulate a dent (using symmetry). So...
