Failure Criteria (Rapture) using 3D elements.
Altair EmployeeI am simulating a projectile striking a metallic sheet.
I used a P14_Solid property card and element as 3D tetra
but after simulation the material is unable to rapture.
Somebody please guide me...
for reference attached is the Image......you can see that the material extensively elongated but no rapture.
Value for Max Plastic Strain used :- 0.750<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Thankyou Praksh for your valuable reply,
I was successfull in simulating the same problem using SHELL elements
My intension to conduct the comparison between the results obtained from property card
P1SHELL and P14_Solid.
Results with P1SHELL property card were succesfully accomplished
Kindly guide me how to use solid elements for rapture analysis.
Hi paramveer_singh
what material model are you using?
if you are using /MAT/LAW2 (PLAS_JOHNS) enter the plastic strain value in SigmaP. When SigmaP equals to SigmaMax elements get deleted (this is valid only for shell elements)
You can also refer to /FAIL on RADIOSS help to know about different failure models and their compatibility.
