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
