Abaqus: Composite layup + cohesive element/contact

Submitted by arnauddat on

Hi everyone!

I'd like to model delamination in a composite laminate with Abaqus. I'm wondering if it is possible to build my laminate using shell elements with the composite layup tool and to insert cohesive elements (or cohesive contact) afterwards?

Many thanks for your help!
