I am designing composite laminate. Initially, I was applying a thickness of .0168mm for COHESIVE ELEMENT OF each ply. Now I have implemented a thickness of .135mm. But after lowering the thickness it says it needs a large number of increments. I have refined the mesh but still same results. what should I do? It seems like if i just change the dimension of cohesive a bit the whole model is messed up
