for linear elements used in abaqus the stress and strain at a particular element should be constant but than also it show a smooth variation in the stres plots why is it so?
I am putting a crack of 5mm in a rectangular model and using XFEM module to define the crack. I am getting this warning continuoulsy.

I am trying to calculate SIF using XFEM and getting this error
THE PROCEDURE TO GENERATE THE SAME SEGMENTS ALONG THE CRACK FRONT FAILS TO CONVERGE IN SMAPrepre_contour_sameseg
Hoe to solve this error
Thank you for the reply. In my case, these are results that I am getting the Fifth contour results to seem to be far away from the rest of the contours. Should I take an average of the first four? or just ignore the first and last ie 1 and 5 contours and take an average of the rest. And could...
I was looking up some fracture mechanics techniques using XFEM.. My problem is a plate with edge crack pure mode 1 loading. In the outputs of XFEM contour integrals. I requested for 5 contours.. Each contour gives different values of K.. (SIF) there are two things.. here.. XFEM_1 results are one...
Can someone tell me how I can extract SIF values from ABAQUS in XFEM method? Also, should I follow separate procedures for a stationary and moving crack?
I am trying to simulate half Disc placed on a bottom slab subjected to both normal and frictional loading. In the first case, I have applied only the normal load and got the stresses value. For the second case to get the frictional force effects I have applied a tangential load at the node just...
