Is cohesive behavior with damage available for surface interaction simulations in Abaqus Standard?

I understand the same behavior is available in Abaqus Explicit, and that cohesive elements can also be used in Explicit, but I don't see the reason why this wouldn't be available in Abaqus Standard...

What is the difference between Standard and explicit elements in Abaqus?

I'm running a few simulations for composite materials and accidentally let an explicit simulation run containing Standard C3D8R, so-called brick elements. What is the difference in formulation...

Why are there different results when using parallel processing or not in Abaqus?

I've been dabbling in the simulation of composite material laminates, but stumbled upon a result I can hardly explain. The same model (a quasi-static explicit decohesion simulation with cohesive...

Why composite Material quasi-static analysis with cohesive surface to simulate delamination shows excessive Force when accelerated by mass scaling?

I'm attempting to simulate progressive damage behavior in composite materials with a cohesive surface between two unidirectional plies with the same material orientation. This is being done in...

Why do quasi-static analyses with Abaqus/Explicit on composite (CFRP) laminates become noisy with cohesive elements between plies?

Currently working on dynamic, quasi-static numerical simulations with composite materials, i.e. carbon fiber epoxy laminates. I'm initially trying to simulate delamination between plies through...
