Sequential Deletion of Volumes in the Calculation Process

The model is a cylindrical tube consisting of three layers. Material parameters for all three layers: E = 2.1e4 N / mm2, n = 0.3, yield strength c = 24 N / m2. A uniform pressure of 14 N / mm2 is applied to the inner surface of the pipe. Fixation according with the symmetry condition. Three loading steps are specified: in the second step, the outer layer of the pipe is removed, in the third step, the next outer layer of the pipe is removed. In the process of solution, stresses are analyzed with the plastic flow and pipe thinning.
