element deleetion - debonding

[lexarsmith]

Hi All, I am using element deletion method to find out the failure of the materials. I use STATUS option from the DISPLAY GROUP to visualize the element deletion but I could not see any deletion.


I have five parts in a model and they are in contact with TIE constrain.

So, in this regard, what should I do to visualize the failed elements.

HOpe to have your suggestion in this regard.

Thanks

If you dont see any deletion it is that your STATUS do not contain any deleted element. Did you define your failure criteria?

Yes, I have defined the failure criterion but still not able to see the deleted elements.
STATUS shows BLUE colour elements without deletion......
