I am doing a drop test (see attached video) with the ground modeled as a block of 4 node tetra elements and my object is also tetra. I am using LAW2 for both.
From the result I see that a chunk of my ground elements are reaching EPS_MAX and then they show 0 stress after that. I am assuming that they are 'dead' elements. They are still shown in HyperView as if they are still active (nodal displacements are still present). So how do I hide these elements automatically? If there is a better solution than hiding I am all ears. Basically I want to get rid of elements that have reached their ultimate failure strain.
