Hi to everybody...
Does anybody have any particular experience on modeling with cohesive elements? I am trying to simulate some masonry couples experiments, but it seems difficult with ABAQUS. I think that cohesive elements could simulate somehow the mortar - brick interface. Does anybody have any idea?

Thank you,

Angelos

Do you really need cohesive elements for that?

I suppose u can use cohesive behavior in contact property instead.
