Adding failure strain to simulation 1

[jzeds]

hello everyone ,i want to simulate a compression test to get stress strain results.
i want to add failure strain to model but i don't see any option in property menu.my model keeps deforming and i can't see a failure (job aborts with error )
Also an example of this procedure is very helpful
thanks in advance

Abaqus offers multiple failure criteria for various materials and scenarios. In this case you will most likely have to use Mechanical --> Damage for Ductile Metals --> Ductile Damage. There you can specify both damage initiation and evolution. With element removal active and STATUS variable requested, failed elements will be deleted from mesh affecting visualization of results.

Check the documentation chapter "About damage and failure for ductile metals" for details. Examples can be found in the Verification Guide.
