3D crack modeling using CTMOPT macro in ANSYS

Hello Everybody..

I am MS student in University of cincinnati, Oh, USA. I am working on
fractures in thin film and for  that i need to model 3D cracks. Problem
is i cant just use extrude comand becuase, crack is not throughout tht
length of the film ( So i cant use th eapproch mentioned above). there
is CTMOPT macro in ansys which allows to desgin meshing at the crack
tip. I am struggling with the ewxplanation given there. If anybody has
detail information in how to implelment this macro, please let me
know. 

Thanknig you,

Leuven, November 19, 2007. Materialise
launches Mimics 11.1, the new release of the company’s medical imaging and
editing software. This new release builds on the last one, enhancing export to
FEA even more. Overall usability and performance were improved with some very
nice new features. Take a look at our website for more information.

June 14, 2007, Materialise released a new and improved version
of its image processing software Mimics. It will again raise the bar in image
processing and editing based on stacked data such as CT and MRI. Continuous
development and support have resulted in the release of Mimics 11.

Mimics is a powerful, yet easy to use software, that boosts
cutting edge research to an even higher level by creating accurate 3D
structures from scanned images and providing a link to Rapid Prototyping (RP),
Computer Aided Engineering and Design (CAE/CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It also allows to perform virtual surgery.
