It would be helpful if you included your concrete material input card images.

Dear Christy,
A note I have seen:
There is no erosion criterion in the material model, *mat_072r3. You can use *mat_add_erosion.

Subject: [LS-DYNA2] Solid Element Erosion
Hi everyone,

Dear Christy,
Christy –
Your input indicates no failure (erosion), but you allow damage via TYPE=1 (EQ.1.0: Bi-linear damage formulation). [This is a bit odd, as when an element becomes fully damaged, its time step will go to zero – might work with implicit solver?]
Please run the simulation again with TYPE=3 (EQ.3.0: No damage) to see if erosion still occurs.
It would also help to have a few of the lines from the “messag” or d3hsp file that are output each time an element/integration point fails.

Hi Len,
Sorry that I needed to ask my professor’s permission to share the data as the simulation was based on an unpublished study. Please see the images as followed for your reference.
Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Christy
I am trying simulate the flexure behavior of a concrete specimen. The failure flag of the concrete material was set to be no erosion but somehow the solid elements still got deleted at some stages. I looked at the control keywords that i used but i don't think I had set other erosion critera. I am wondering if anyone knows how can I keep the concrete solid elements not deleted.
Dear Christy.

p.s. Added paper:
In this project, a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete model was developed using *MAT_CDPM (*MAT_273) in LS-DYNA. Several finite element analyses are performed to predict the response of stress-strain relationship and to study the mechanics of confined concrete. The concrete was modelled as 4-node tetrahedron solid elements and the FRP was modelled as truss elements in the analysis. The results of the proposed model were compared with the experimental results and the analytical results:
