Hi all!
I am in desperate need of help. I am not experienced using Abaqus but I am learning. I'm currently trying to simulate a needle penetrating through a layer of cohesive elements. I am taking baby steps, therefore ignoring the global structure for now, to understand how to model the splitting of the layer. I am using abaqus explicit, modelling the needle as a rigid body while the penetration layer using cohesive elements. I used the general contact algorithm.
I have attached the input file for your diagnosis. Please kindly respond.
Thanks,
