Hey,

i am currently simulating the rockwell test on a Diamond coated Substrate (2D). I am interested in the Delamination process, but also the crack Initiation and Propagation within the Coating. I managed to simulate a crack in the Coating using the XFEM enrivonment, but unfortunately the Simulation Aborts after 2 cells have been seperated by the crack. I would like the Simulation to Keep running until the end - or at least a bit longer so i can see how the crack develops over time.

I am using Maxps Damage, Power Law for Damage Evolution and a stabilization coefficient.

I would like to know what are the Parameters for me to Change in order for the Simulation to Keep running.

Thank you in advance
