    Evolution model with xfem crack

    What is the evolution model to choose with a xfem crack to model a ductile fracture ? Traction damage laws and MAXS are working ok but does it realistically simulate a ductile fracture ? Can the ductile fracture models found in the 'material' feature be used with a xfem crack to give a more...

    Crack-Fracture

    I am wondering what would be the best strategy to model the following case: a crack is propagating in a pipe under the internal pressure due to the fluid contained into it until the pipe fractures. Can it be modelled 1)using a cosimulation: With a XFEM crack (Abaqus implicit) on a zone of the...
