Surface-based cohesive behavior in Explicit
No, self-contact is absolutely not an issue. The problem however is to correctly define the node-to-surface contact problem. I use the CAE to define the contact problem: Create interaction -> General contact (Explicit). In the Contact formulation tab I select the Pure master-slave assignment...- Utie

Surface-based cohesive behavior in Explicit
Dear IceBreakerSours, I guess you meant section 36.1.10 Surface-based cohesive behavior. I couldn't agree with you more. However, the manual also states (37.2.1 Contact formulation for general contact in Abaqus/Explicit) how pure master-slave weighting for node-to-face contact can be...- Utie

Hi everyone, Currently I am working on a micro-mechanical model of a single fiber in an epoxy system under dynamic conditions. I would like to model the debonding at the interface when submitting the RVE to a uniform compression. Using cohesive elements the results are inadequate: we get...- Utie
