Hi every one,

I think that there is a method for automatic failed element removal  using UMAT subroutine, I mean that at every iteriation failed elements with the help of a failure criterion to be indicated and to its material behaviour to set to zero and this means that a path for crack propagation will form .... Anyway, if any body is intrested we can clarify this subroutine step by step for all of the visitors in this website, I mean that an open source subroutine to be expanded here.

Thank you,

Hi everone,

The new version of ABAQUS/CAE 6.8 seem to have capability of automatic failed element removal. Does any body has any experience about this new feature in ABAQUS.

cheers,

Hi Everyone,

I am quite new to this blog, and I enjoy of studying your comments. I have a problem in ABAQUS/CAE. I am trying to model a wood beam that has two beahviour in tension and compression. Elasto-Plastic behaviour in tension and in compression Elsto-Brittle behaviour. Is there any way to model this material in ABAQUS. My problem mainly comes back to this case that we can not assign to a beam two materail behaviour simultanously.

Thank you for your reply.
