Hello

I am wondering if somebody can help me with using Xfem analysis in abaqus. Is it possible to perform xfem with 2 cracks simultaneously?

I have a double edge notched tensile test specimen and would like a crack to propagate from each side of the model as it would do in experiments. However I have only been able to do this with a single crack.

Does anybody have any advice how to do this?

Thank you
