Compare the Abaqus failure criteria with that of Simulation Composite Analysis for composite materials.
Abaqus provides five different failure criteria that can be used to predict composite material failure in a linear elastic analysis. In addition, Abaqus provides one type of damage evolution model that can be applied to composite materials. In this section, the various Abaqus failure criteria and damage evolution criteria will be compared with Simulation Composite Analysis by using each one to simulate the failure response of the composite conic structure.
