    Tabular Damage Evolution Softening Curve (Trapezoidal cohesive law)

    Hi comp, Thanks for the advice! By using 10,000 data points it finally decohered. A further complication came up. I tried to replicate the linear, energy based option using tabular, but this gives a slightly different force delta response. Using the tabular damage evolution it fails earlier...

    Tabular Damage Evolution Softening Curve (Trapezoidal cohesive law)

    I am running a model simulating composite delamination using a cohesive interface. The model delaminates correctly using energy based damage evolution, however when I try to use displacement based, tabular data to define the softening curve, it does not delaminate. I am trying to implement a...
