I am working on CZM (cohesive zone model) for interface analysis of composite material by using microbond pullout techniques. So far I was using some other software packages. I am unable to get proper results . Can anyone help in this regard?

    Hi,

    I think you can try with /FAIL/CONNECT card in RADIOSS, which describes the failure model for connection material with elongation criteria and/or energy criteria. Please go through the Help Menu on this card and also refer RD-E: 4800 Solid Spotweld example in Help which is a similar case.
