creating zero thickness cohesive elements using tetra mesh

Submitted by matunt on

Hello everyone,

I am working on crack simualtion by creating zero thickness cohesive elements by editing the nodal co-ordinate in ABAQUS. I am able to simualte it on some of the components using hexa mesh , but for complex components it should be meshed with tetra mesh so,   my question is , is it  possible to create zero thickness elements using tetra mesh in ABAQUS? If it is then please guide me  through this problem.

Thank You.
