Hello, I am running an explicit simulation where I get a number of beam element that fail due to my tensile failure mode. Is there a way to get a count of failed elements? I would like to plot the strain rate vs the number of failed elements.

Thanks so much for your time.

Thanks so your answer, it looks like the code is for LS dyna. I am running ANSYS 2021 R1 explicit dynamics, is there similar code or a function for it?
