Hi there,

my simulation result of crack shows with exaggerate element, as shown in the image:

already click the element deletion, STATUS.

Any suggestions to it?

Need your help!

Thanks a lot!
 
So you requested output of STATUS variable but is it selected in Result —> Field Output —> Status Variable —> Use status variable ? If yes, check the damage state of these elements. Which damage criterion do you use ?
 
thanks for the reply! I used ductile damage criteria
 
I selected Result —> Field Output —> Status Variable —> Use status, remain the same problem
 
Plot DUCTCRT and STATUS variables for these elements:
- DUCTCRT - a value of 1 means that damage initiation criterion has been met
- STATUS - a value of 0 means that the element is inactive

Also check what happens to these (and surrounding) elements during analysis, as fracture progresses.
 
Thank you @FEA way, problem solved!
