Dear Abaqus Community,

my intention is to perform a CEL simulation of a sawing process considering a cooling lubricant. For this purpose, I have modeled a chip formation process with an element erosion approach. Additionally I have a flow inlet through which water flows. The problem is separated at the symmetry plane. The flow outlet is along the side of the kerf. Unfortunately, I get an error regarding excessively distorted elements. Technically, however, this should not occur with Euler elements. Does anyone have a good idea where my problem is?

I have used ABAQUS version 2023 and calculated on Windows. I have used the ABAQUS explicit solver and calculate with Dynamic, Temp-disp, Explicit.

Thank you very much for your support!
