Dear experts, 

I am new in modeling in LS-Dyna. In my master thesis, I must modeling solid particle erosion in metalling surface. In this modeling, solid particles impact a surface and make microcutting in the surface. In my model, I used Johnson-Cook material model with failure. When I run the model, solid particles impact surface and the element which in the surface are deleting. But I want to micro grading in the surface. So I do not want to delete the element on the surface. I want the elements to break in mesh regions. There is a video about micrograding at below. In the video the element broke in the mesh region but did not deleting.

Also there is one video again 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pOmdq87VU8&t=311s

In that video, the element did not delete again but broke in the mesh region. 

Bu these videos, What will I do? I used Johnson Cook. From D1 to D5 parameters in the Johnson-Cook, Which parameters I must use?

Thanks for yor helps.
