This ANSYS How To video will demonstrate Contact Debonding in ANSYS Mechanical using the Cohesive Zone Material (CZM) method by displacing two two-dimensional parts on a double cantilever beam.

ANSYS Mechanical software is a comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) tool for structural analysis, including linear, nonlinear and dynamic studies. The engineering simulation product provides a complete set of elements behavior, material models and equation solvers for a wide range of mechanical design problems. In addition, ANSYS Mechanical offers thermal analysis and coupled-physics capabilities involving acoustic, piezoelectric, thermal-structural and thermo-electric analysis. ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool that provides in-depth analysis of structural and coupled-field behavior in a highly productive environment for optimal engineering.
