I want to extract the position and the time at which a XFEM dynamic crack occupies a certain location. Is step-1:0 to 10 gives an indication about the time ? How is represented (coded) the time in the odb. file ?

As far as I am aware (somebody may know more about this) XFEM is solved implicitly so no time integration is performed hence there is no measure of real time in the simulation.
