I am modelling blunt cracks in Ansys and wanted some guidance on using the CINT command. Specifically, if I have explicitly defined the notch radius, how do I define the crack assist node since the nodes on the inside of the crack will no longer align with the direction of crack propagation.

Thanks,
Matt
