I am trying to evaluate an impact analysis using abaqus explicit (bullet vs. armoured plate).

I can't figure out how to define material property so that the plate brakes when certain stress or strain is reached.

Any help appreiated.

Yes, i have tried numerous options and combinations. None worked.
Can someone tell me what exactly i have to define:
Elastic material?
Plastic material?
Ductile damage?
I just need one working example.
