Hello, I am trying to simulate the delamination between two layers in a laminate.

I already created the interface layer in ACP.

 

Also you find attached:

- the mesh of curved laminate extracted from ACP

- the interface layer in red (with crack front)

- the interface delamination surface I am trying to select

- the worksheet i used to create it

- the interface delamination details window, that i am trying to complete.

 

What is missing in the detail window of interface delamination is to select: 

 

- the source and target faces of the interface layer. 

 

I tried to create a node named selection of the interface layer using worksheet but:

 

1- this node name selection contains BOTH source and target nodes.

 

How can select only source Or only target ? Also how can I do to fill the details window ?

 

PS: In the option Generation Method of the scope paragraph, I can't find the Pre-Generated interface as in the delamination tutorial of ACP advanced! 

 

Thank you for your contribution
