Hello,
I'm trying to do a an analyisis that's start with the Standard solver and end with the Explicit solver.
To do so, I have 2 inp files the first for the standard analysis and the second for the explicit.
The second one uses the keyword *Import at instance level with state=yes and update=no which allow me to import the material state (stress etc.) and the energy state of the model. Theorycally, the damage state of the cohesive elements present in the model should also be imported.
But, when I look to the initial increment of the Explicit Analysis, the SDEG damage variable is reseted to zero. All the other variables are imported fine.
Does someone have ever faced this kind of problem? (variable reseted to 0)
I precise that I'm using COH3D8 cohesive elements with a Traction-Separation behaviour, using an Energy based damage law which is linear with exonential mixed mode behaviour.
Thanks for your responses
Hi Sylvain,
I think that you can find a solution to your problem on the Abaqus verification manual at the following link:
https://www.sharcnet.ca/Software/Abaqus/6.14.2/v6.14/books/ver/default.htm?startat=ch02s02abv163.html
Looking for these input files:
cdpu_cps4r_sx_s.inp Abaqus/Standard base analysis.
cdpu_cps4r_sx_x.inp Abaqus/Explicit import analysis from cdpu_cps4r_sx_s.inp.
