Dear all,

 Greetings!

I'm simulating tensile test of AL6061-T6 in Abaqus CAE solver. we have incorporated the density, elastic, plastic - rate dependent, ductile damage - damage evolution. however, the element separation is not happing in the simulation even the element deletion was enabled. The specimen is elongating with response given load conditions. the simulation is aborted once limiting conditions are reached and its showing zero stress throughout the specimen.

Kindly help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Manoj
