Abaqus Tutorial 15b: XFEM, Modeling Crack Propagation
In this tutorial, you will modify a model of a compact tension (CT) test to define the material properties, including a pre-existing crack and create X-FEM domains.
When you complete this tutorial, you will be able to:
- Define the material properties including the failure criterion
- Create an initial crack
Define the crack surface properties - Create X-FEM enriched domains
