Hi,
I need help!!! I don't know anything about ABAQUS and I have to create a model in it. Please guide me:
Here is my question:
I'm supposed to model a cracked epoxy with a fibre in it. then apply load to this composite material and let the crack opens- to see how the debonding happens and also to see the stresses in the fibre.
I have created the parts , but I don't know:
1- how to create this crack? I want the epoxy moves apart.
2-what is the interaction between them?

Thank you in advance.
