Hi,

My lab has several COMSOL licenses, I've been playing with it for several years. Recently, I saw an impact simulation using Abaqus (www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKXKLybDtGU), so I started to set up a similar model in COMSOL.

Here is my question:

The bullet will finally fly through the wall. So cracks will appear. Where can I define the cracking conditions (e.g. ultimate stress, threshold energy for cracking)?

Thanks

Dan
