Hello All,

I am trying to replicate an impact analysis; where, to indicate delamination zone CSDMG has been plotted (Fig.-1). It’s a [0/90]s layup, means it is expected to have delamination in

the interface 1 (0/90) and interface 3 (90/0). I’ve extracted CSDMG as field output (Fig-2).

Model consists of a General contact with cohesive surfaces in between layers.

I’ve tried different options like-

1. Using global Translucency and then plotting CSDMG.
2. Creating display group for the contact surface and then plotting CSDMG (Fig. -3).

Since my result is not matching, not sure about the correct method.

Can anyone please suggest how to post process the results to get a plot like Fig-1.

Thanks,
