What is the evolution model to choose with a xfem crack to model a ductile fracture ?
Traction damage laws and MAXS are working ok but does it realistically simulate a ductile fracture ?
Can the ductile fracture models found in the 'material' feature be used with a xfem crack to give a more realistic model ?
It seems that the ductile models works only with Abaqus explicit whereas xfem works with Abaqus implicit.
Thank you for your answers.
