Hi all,

         Recently  i tried  Hydrostatic pressure stress element removal criterion in Abaqus(19.2.8 Dynamic failure models in the 6.9 manual) . I used 75 Mpa as cut-off pressure stress and after which the material fails. During post - processing i tried to measure the pressure stress in an element that failed but the element did not fail at 75 Mpa and i checked few other elements, also i found the same thing none of them failed at 75 Mpa. What could be the possible reason? 

Thanks

Mike
