Hello community,

I have to simulate a model of 2D orthogonal cutting in Abaqus/Explicit.
I have a major problem in defining the correct interaction so that the chip interacts with itself when it curves.
The result I get is something like this:

Does anyone know of a way to stop the chip elements penetrating one another?

Thanks in advance.
