Hello ABAQUS Experts,
I had a quick question for which I needed your experience and advise please:
I need to know "How we do Element Deletion / Remeshing for the Explicit
Loading?" I mean how I can remove elements in each time-step to model my
progressive failure and at the same time maintain the continuity of my
explicit dynamic analysis.
I am applying extreme shock loading (Explicit Analysis) on a glass plate
and I am about to remove the elements that reach their max stress, then
I have to remove them from my geometry and re-mesh the model and run
the analysis for the next time-steps but I am afraid that this might
disturb the continuity of my explicit analysis. Plus, I do not know how
to the ELEMENT DELETION in ABAQUS.
I really appreciate if I can have your valuable input on this problem;
