Does it make to use cohesive zone here?

Submitted by schurik01 on

Hey I've got a beam and between two different materials i'm thinking to put a cohesive zone with "weaker" material properties. Does it make sense to use cohesive zone models?

 

My model is looking like this now. But I don't know what's wrong. It seems taht the whole force/displacement is lost in the cohesive zone. 

If somebody can help that would be very nice
