How can we show failure for structure as shown? Can we work with ekill script or is there any way to do it in explicit dynamics?

Can we use any other boundary conditions like remote displacement?

Kindly help!

I suggest you run this model in Explicit Dynamics where you will see the failure. Erosion will remove elements during the solution based on a strain criterion (default) or on a material failure criterion if you have that in your material and you change the Erosion setting to On Material Failure.
