Hi

Please read through the messages we write, otherwise we are repeating the same thing all over again.

So see my previous post, where we said, since you model wood , there is a wood model in ls dyna, called mat 143 in LS-Dyna, which has different strengths in tension and compression in different directions - I have never used it so you need to search the ls dyna manual and the internet for more info (e.g., Characterization of Maple and Ash Material Properties for the Finite Element Modeling of Wood Baseball Bats).

All the best

Erik
