Dear all,

I am strugling with displaying the deleted cohesive elements by using STATUS. The problem is the delamination of composite material under impact and Abaqus 6.6/explicit are being used. The keywords I used is listed below. Since the default of the ELEMENT DELETION is YES the the deletion should be active.

*Element Output,elset= __PickedSurf134_ S1
status,

The job runs good and there is a evident delamination in the cohesive zone. However, there is simply no Status choice in Tools/create display group/element/result value/Field Output. Does anybody here have experience in this. Any help will be highly appreciated, Thanks.
