Hello Okkar,

I found one example with the *MAT_ADD_EROSION keyword:

https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/jday/mae_tension.k

Note that this is an example only and the material inputs cannot be used in your real model.

Note that the newer keyword *MAT_ADD_DAMAGE_GISSMO is now available for GISSMO damage. You will find more information in the LS-DYNA User Manual Vol II:

"*MAT_ADD_DAMAGE_GISSMO originates from splitting *MAT_ADD_EROSION.
Only “sudden” failure criteria without damage remain in *MAT_ADD_EROSION."

You will find more information in the following video by DynaMore (now part of Ansys):

The following presentation might also be usefull:

Note that we are hosting an info day on GISSMO on May 16, 2024. You may want to register:

At last, note that Ansys employees cannot download and upload models and files on the Ansys Forum (for legal reasons). So, maybe other users will be able to share their LS-DYNA models with GISSMO.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Reno.
