Crack Modelling in ABAQUS and ELEMENT DELETION in Explicit Analysis

Submitted by hossein_ataei on
Hello ABAQUS Experts,

I had a quick question for which I needed your experience and advise please:



I need to know "How we do Element Deletion / Remeshing for the Explicit
Loading?" I mean how I can remove elements in each time-step to model my
progressive failure and at the same time maintain the continuity of my
explicit dynamic analysis.



I am applying extreme shock loading (Explicit Analysis) on a glass plate
and I am about to remove the elements that reach their max stress, then
