Damage in abaqus 6.10

Submitted by Elena83 on

Good morning,

I'm writing here because I have a problem using the Hashin criterion in abaqus 6.10.

Here after i'll post the card I'm using to define damage initiation and evolution.

Can someone tell me if I'm using it in the correct way?(I'm working with S4R elements)

In the damage evolution I'm using in order the "fiber tensile fracture energy", "fiber compressive fracture energy", "matrix tensile fracture energy", "matrix compression fracture energy".

*Material, name=composito

*Elastic, type=LAMINA

 150000., 9080. ,  0.32, 5290., 5290., 5290.

*density

 1.77e-9

*DAMAGE INITIATION, CRITERION=HASHIN, ALPHA= 0.925

2323.5, 1200.1, 160.2, 199.8, 130.2, 92.3

*DAMAGE EVOLUTION,TYPE=ENERGY, SOFTENING=LINEAR

81.5,106.3,0.2774,0.7879

*DAMAGE STABILIZATION

0.001,0.001,0.001,0.001

 As output I'mlooking for damage in elements.

*Output, field, frequency=1

*element output, elset=all

 SDEG,HSNFTCRT

*element output, elset=all

 SDEG,HSNFCCRT

*element output, elset=all

 SDEG,HSNMTCRT

*element output, elset=all

 SDEG,HSNMCCRT

*element output, elset=all

 DAMAGEFT

*element output, elset=all

 DAMAGEFC

*element output, elset=all

 DAMAGEMT

*element output, elset=all

 DAMAGEMC

Best Regards.
