surface-based cohesive

[Ashkan Sahraie]

Hi all,

Does anybody know how I can use surface-based cohesive behavior with traction-separation law in abaqus 6.8? I tried a lot but I could not figure it out where in contacts it might be.

Regards,

In 6.8 you need to edit the keyword file (support for surface-based
cohesive contact was added in Abaqus/CAE 6.9-1). See the documentation
for *COHESIVE BEHAVIOR, *SURFACE INTERACTION, *DAMAGE INITIATION,
*DAMAGE EVOLUTION, and *DAMAGE STABILIZATION.

Regards,

Dave
