Hi, in the update-news to Abaqus 2019 it says, it will be possible to use failure and element deletion with the CDP (Concrete Damage Plasticity). For me this is not working. Has anyone of you a suggestion how to use this new feature?

I tried the easy way: Used the CDP, put a check mark in "element deletion", "max degradation" and also in the fieldoutput "STATUS". But nothing is happening.

The weird thing is, in the results the fieldoutput "STATUS" does not appear and there is no warning about that like: "STATUS is not available for element or CDP..."

Thanks for your help :-)
