abaqus polymer element distortion

Abaqus / polymer / simulation

Hi all,



I'm trying to model a peel T test on a composite material composed of steel and polymer (polypropylen) on Abaqus 6.7. Between these parts, there are cohesive elements COH3D8.

I have a problem with my model and I don't understand it. You can visualize my results in attachs files.

For understand this draw, a few precisions:

The elements in white has just here to guide the materials.

In B (cf attachs files), the nodes are embedded.

In A I applied a velocity.
