Hello,
I've been doing some simulations with cohesive elements with traction separation law. On a very simple model, everything behaves well, but when more complex geometry a denser mesh comes I can not see a cohesive zone opening. SDEG shows 1 on a few elements near the edge of the geometry, but they still transfer stress.
Anybody has any idea why do they have such behavior?

Maybe there is an inconsistency in your solid model, and when you use a coarse mesh and take the average, this inconsistency would ignore by your code. please check it out and write down the result.

Thank you for the advice. It helped a bit, but not as I expected.
Thank you!
