Hello Simulia Community,

I am currently working on a tensile test for a model composed of 3D continuum elements. I am looking for the simplest way to implement a failure criterion. I do not have much data for the material, so ideally I would like to specify a target stress at which an element fails once that stress level is reached.

So far, I have gone through the damage and failure models in the Abaqus documentation, but they all seem more complex than what I need.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this?

Thank you very much,
Andrea Cernilogar
