Hi everyone,
I'm working with Abaqus/Explicit and I'm trying to use surface based cohesive behavior (general contact, NOT contact pairs) between a part of stent (discretized with beams) and a tube (discretized with shell elements), in order to keep them bonded.
The contact seems to work, but I have some doubts about few parameters. What about the stiffness coefficients? Up to now, I'm using default parameters, but do you suggest me to enter specific values even if I'm not modeling de-bonding but just a "completely adhesion" between the selected surfaces?
Thank you all!
