Hello!
i want to perform Delamination buckling growth in laminated composites using cohesive elements..
my model consist of two plates with 1e-6 thickness of cohesive element layer
i use offset mesh method to create an orphan mesh of thickness 1e-6 from one part and and shared its node with that part and assigned it cohesive material properties after that i tie this cohesive layer with the upper part,,,,
but in the paper i follow it say that u should create a PRE delamination region whose nodes are not shared with any of the parts,,,
as i create an orphan mesh of cohesive layer i can NOT do partition on it,
i would be thankful if some one could send me a file or view how to model the PRE-DELAMINATION REGION
HERE IS PICS I WANT TO MODEL
BEST WISHES
Hi Ismail Khan
maybe you can use the Predefined option in Engineering module.
Best Lock,

sir where i can find Engineering module ?kindly elabarate ur answer
thank u
Hi Ismail,
I am still beginner in ABAQUS. I got what you mean, but I do not have enough information about your topic as mine is totally different. I am dealing with composite beams.
However, this video might help you somehow with what you are asking for. This YouTube video shows how to deal with cohesive elements.
Kind regards,
