Hi,
I am doing the damage analysis on metal.
By default, abaqus seems to remove the element when Dmax=1.And optionally, it allows users to specify Dmax<1 to keep the damaged elements with 1% residual stiffness.
Abaqus supply the related input keywords as
"*SECTION CONTROLS, ELEMENT DELETION=NO"
I wonder whether there is a python command with the same function? And if there is none, how can I combine the keyord together with my python files?
PS:Since I used explicit module to process my analysis, I am afraid when all the damaged elements(D=1) are removed, the analysis model will be unstable , causing analysis error.
thank you!
