Hi Kristoffer,

I have a few questions regarding Phon. In my case I am not dealing with polycrystalline material. I am dealing with homogenous material but I want to place cohesive elements between inter-element boundaries. I think it should work theoretically because I can assume each element as a grain. I wrote my input file as the form in the documentation for 2D so I used face to define each element as separate grain and edge to define the elements in grain boudaries (in my case it is one element). Since my model is 2D, in the Nset I dont have any Zo dependence. When I try to run the commands to embed cohesive elements it is not working it doesnot give me an error even. My question can Phone handle this case or No.

thanks

I would need to see the input file you provided (best if you can make it small) and the exact commands you tried to run.
