Good day
I am trying to model a cohesive element COH3D8 with zero thickness between two shells (Figure 1 - Zoom in Figure 2). In the cohesive element, I have put two nodes at each point.
For the boundary conditions, I have encastre on the left edge and a displacement (x-direction) on the right edge (Figure 3). The job was aborted for the next error:
THE COH3D8 ELEMENT 3 INSTANCE PART-1-1 HAS DEGENERATE VERTICES. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED
Which I am trying to do is possible?
Attached are the figures and the INP file.
Thanks a lot!
