1D element fracture

MNajeeb

Hello

Is it possible to model a 1D element that fails in either tension or shear? I would like analyze a breakaway feature on a structure that absorbs a portion of the impact energy and breaks off.

Fracture can be either in tension (i.e cable) or in shear (i.e shear pin).

Thank you

Hi,

most spring properties support some failure criteria. Spring beam supports deformation, force and energy-based failure criteria.

Thanks! I will try using P4_Spring properties with the delta_max defined.
