Precisely. I have validated results for a standard, simple crack, by comparing with other packages to get SIFs. So the methodology seems fine. But when I move onto complicated geometries, problems creep in. More than complicated, something like the intersection I spoke about in the previous...

This is the example given, FYI. I'd like to insert a crack at the intersection of two volumes, like a step. Not able to.
A crude example would be, I would like to insert a crack at the intersection of the boss/riser and the smooth...
Hey rb1957,
Yeah, I've tried copying the example for a continous/smooth volume. My doubt is if the Macro is applicable for volumes with discontinuities/not smooth, which isn't explained. ALso, I'd like a heads up on the different parameters as well, which aren't clearly explained. A better...
Yeah there is an example, but that's for a simple plain surface. Doesn't really help. Want to know if anyone's worked with more complex geometries or has a proper tutorial?
Thanks rb1957,btw!
Hi,
I am trying to insert a crack in a model using the macro CTMOPT in Ansys 13.
It is a surface crack, full crack. I get an error claiming 'Please check the workplane orientation and crack dimensions'
Anyone has solutions/tutorial for proper use of this macro?
Thanks!
