Convert Traction-Separation to Abaqus Cohesive Properties

Tutorial on how to use MCalibration to quickly convert experimental traction-separation data into a cohesive element or cohesive surface model for use with Abaqus.

The calibrated model will use the following keywords:
*Elastic, type=traction
*Damage Initiation, criterion=maxs, rate dependent
*Damage Evolution, type=displacement, softening=tabular
