    [XFEM] Fatigue crack propagation

    Hello everyone, I am trying to plot a graph crack size vs number of cycles. My model is the same as in Abaqus 14 manual link. For better understanding of topic, I try to obtain the solution in analytical way. I have found similar geometry here, however, in this example the geometry has infinite...

    [XFEM] SIF calculation

    Welcome everyone, I am a student who is writing thesis involved with crack propagation. In order to understand model behaviour I try to simulate crack propagation in specimens. I am confused because I read couple of articles about calculations of Stress Intensity Factor and the materials...

    Defigning section orientation

    Yes they are. I would like to change type of my coordinate system from cartesian to cylindrical and rotate particular cross sections of beam elements. I can do the same in the cartesian coordinate system but I have to enter appropriate values of sin/cos function ;) if it is still unclear I will...

    Defigning section orientation

    Welcome everyone :) Is it possible in Abaqus to orientate beam section based on local coordinate system? I found that material properties can be done that way. Thanks,
