XFEM in ABAQUS

XFEM

Hello,

As far as I understand from the previous blogs: we can now embed XFEM in ABAQUS. Is this approach restricted to linear elastic behavior? Can we simulate fracture propagation in an elasto-plastic material ("XFEM coupled with ABAQUS" type analysis) or is this approach only limited to fracture propagation in elastic materials.

 Thanks,

 Uno.
