XFEM crack propagation problem

Hi all,

I have my material properties from a tensile test as shown in this table: (it's the plastic part + damaged part)

I have created my model in 3D and it's a bone shape. the material properties in Abaqus is defined as elastic part : E=290 , 0.45 for Poisson Ratio- and for plastic part I have used the table up to 20.55Mpa stress. and then Damage: Maxps =20.5 and damage evolution : Displacement --->Tabular

I calculated D and displacement.

after running the program, it starts the cracking and it propagate, but the problem is that 1- it does not separate(as I assigned displacement load, so it should be able to converge) and 2- the stress strain curve after propagation is not the same as the one from lab tests.

would you please guide me about these two questions?
