First of all, thank a lot for the great FEM tool. First simulations of penetration setups look fine and I am looking forward to validate the tool with other FEM software.
I have a bunch of small questions:
For the parameter FAILURE_STRESS and FAILURE_STRENGTH, which components or invariants of the stress/strain are used?
For the parameter FACTOR and THICKNESS (at Contract_Triangle-Command), which units for the values are used? The default units (i.e. KN or mm) or are relative units (p.e. relative to some mesh element lengths)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Sorry, FAILURE_STRESS is correct. My question is the following: What is the detailled failure criterion implemented in the code? Is it the maximal stress/strain criterion (i.e. all principal stress<FAILURE_STRESS) or the von mises yield criterion, or... ?
Can you propose any literature reference on this topic?
Bests, Roland

Thank for your reply. I am award of the fembic-definition of fstrain and fstress. But: Which kind of stress (or strain) will be used for evaluation of the fstrain/fstress ? For example, one could be used the Si stress-component, or the maximum of all invariants or a combination of the six stress components.
Maybe you just have a liturature reference or a reference to the IMPACT-code?

I think there are two failure: FAILURE_STRAIN and FAILURE_STRESS
There is no FAILURE_STRENGTH
The thickness unit used in contact triangle should be consistent with other length unit,

Hi Waluyo

fstrain: The strain at which the material fractures. If an element reaches this strain, it will be removed from the simulation.
fstress: The stress at which the material fractures. If an element reaches this stress, it will be removed from the simulation.

Dear Wayulo,
