Eliminate the failed elements in the display group

[autao]

Hi,
I am using an Abaqus 6.6 axisymmetric explicit model to simulate the processing of a steel nail punched through an aluminium plate. The elements under the nail were deleted when they met the ductile fracture criteria.

My problem is similar with an example in the ABAQUS Example Problem Manual, 2.1.3 Rigid Projectile Impacting Eroding Plate. There is a statement that 'the failed elements have been eleiminate by creating a display group in ABAQUS/CEA that contain only the active elements'.

How to eliminate the failed elements in the display group? I try to use *Element output, but there is no such option.
Thanks in advance!

This is a display group feature, not related to any keyword...

Go to the display group dialog, choose Elements - with Result as the "method". You have many options as to whether to remove/replace elements above/below/between various values of the current field variable.

The problem is solved. Thank you brep!

*element output, elset=name
DUCTCRT

DUCTCRT can be used in the display group dialog.
