Dear John,
Thank you very very much for your advice! Sorry for the late reply because I did not notice there was a reply to my post.
I found this sample command snippet provided by you in one of my other posts to post process the CZM debonding parameters.
***********
set,last
esel,s,type,,cid1 !select contact element type ‘cid1’
etab,dtstart,nmisc,66 !load step time during debonding
etab,dparam,nmisc,70 !debonding parameter
etab,deneri,nmisc,140 !debonding parameter
pretab,dtstart,dparam,deneri !print results to solver output
/show,png
pletab,deneri !plot critical fracture energy

I am really new to APDL command and I have to humbly ask a few studpid questions if you don't mind...
1) Do I have to insert a APDL command snippet to name the czm bonded contact for which I want to investigate? I am asking because there are 18 different CZM bonded contacts in the model.
cid=czm1 ! Define the name of this CZM bonded contact is "czm1"
2) After the name of the contact is defined, I just need to change the 2nd row of the sample command to:
esel,s,type,,czm1
Is this correct?
3) I reviewed the ETABLE commands and as well as the Table 174.2 and 174.3.
I don't really understand what EIJKL means, so do I have to change the numbers 66, 70 and 140 in the command?
4) Forgive one more stupid question. The solution has already stopped. Following Question 1, I guess if I were to add a APDL command snippet under one of the czm contact to define cid name, do I have to solve it again? because it took a long time to run the model....Shall I insert this sample command snippet under "solution" or "analysis" section?
Looking forward to your guidance!
Kind regards,
