Hi Avash,

Have you selected any failure criterion for your material under Engineering Data? You can select from the list of available models (see picture below).
Providing only linear elastic data will not result in failure unless a certain strain limit is reached (accessible via Analysis Settings under "Erosion Controls" in the project schematic).
