[Abaqus] How to assign surface properties to all elements?

Submitted by cooljoon78 on

Dear All,

Anyone know how to assign surface contact properties to all elements in Abaqus?

i.e. all elements have contact (cohesive) properties on each boudary, so a crack propagates following those boundaries without defining pre-known crack path.

Does Abaqus support those automatic insertion fuction since manually inserting properties to all elementary boundaries is non sense...

Thank you in advance,

Joon
