cohesive data retrieving

[arya1996]

Hi everyone,
I have defined a cohesive element, everything is ok, but I don't know how to retrieve how many elements of cohesive part are torn by scripting, although I've tried to read abaqus manual script.
Is there any way?? like, a code to return whether an element SDEG is equal to 1 or not...

 

[FEA way]

You would have to loop through all integration points and inside the loop place a conditional statement that saves element label or increases the count if SDEG (or STATUS) has value indicating failure.
