Hello.

I'm trying to simulate a shear tensile test in abaqus by using a single lap joint speciment, and couldn't figure out a proper way to put a lair of coating on the adherends. I've tried the skin method to add the coating lair, but somehow the simulation result turned out as the image is shown, which seem the adhesive lair deformed in an abnormal way.

Can someone teach me how to properly use the skin, and also tell me why the epoxy lair deformed in such way?

Thank you
