Hi I perfomed a sandwich structure simulation which contains two shell model and a solid model both generated from the acp only. As model is sandwich i want to see the failure criteria like shear crimping and etc. for the usual case of all the shell model (no solid model) it is easy to create just composite failure tool and define failure criteria. but for my case as i have core modelled as solid and facesheets as shell model when i am creating composite failure tool sandwich structure criteria is not giving results it always say "na" for all the cells. but i know from the pure shell modelled simualtion that i have shear crimping failure.

 

is there any perticular way where to get those failure criteria for shell-solid model? or any other method to get those failure criteria.

Hello Harshal,

How are you modeling your sandwich? Do you have bonded contacts between the shell and the solid elements?
