Crack Propagation by Cohesive Element

Submitted by bowen.raymone on

Hi everyone,

 I've been working on crack propagation problem by cohesive elements in Abaqus.

 I have a sandwich struture where adhesive bonds two steels together. And I've attached part of my input file in the following.

 I can have the stress and strain distribution, but I really expect the crack will propagate in the midplane of the adhesives. I don't know whether I have to preset a line in the middle of adhesive as existing crac, or I can set some crack interaction to get the crack growth result.
