$\Delta t^{erode}$
Time step size below which elements are eroded
default: not used
$\varepsilon_{geo}^{erode}$
Effective deviatoric geometric strain above which elements are eroded
default: not used
$\varepsilon_v^{erode}$
Volumetric strain above which elements are eroded
default: not used
$\varepsilon_{eff}^{p,erode}$
Effective plastic strain above which elements are eroded
default: not used

Description

This command is used to specify element erosion citeria for one or multiple parts. Note that erosion parameters defined directly in PART have a higher priority.
