Does Abaqus have the ability to eliminate the damaged concrete elements graphically?
Hi Dr. Sadjad,
If you ask about the possibility of removing the damaged element in the visualization module of Abaqus, the answer is yes. Abaqus, does allow users to do so.

Dear Dr.Sadjad Amir Hemzah,
There are two ways to remove elements from your concrete model in Abaqus : First way (which is more accurate) by using the CRACKING MODEL FOR CONCRETE available in Abaqus. In this model, the element is removed from the mesh If all of the material points in an element fail. Alternatively, you can simply remove the element manually from the visualization module ---> Display groups-->Create Display groups--->from Item menu select ELEMENT and from Method menu select Element set and select WarnElemDistorted from the select in viewport.
All the best
