ANSYS CODE FOR FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION

Submitted by Amit S. Kulkarni. on

Hi all,

     Currently, I am using ANSYS 12.1 for the fatigue crack propagation simulation for the edge crack & center crack plates. It is a mixed mode crack propagation.

 

Can anybody please tell me or guide me how to write the code in the ANSYS using APDL for automatic remeshing around the cracktip when crack propagates to the new position?

 Thanks in advance. :)

hi gentel man , 

 

This is ramana , working as FEA analyst in clyde pumps .

I recently downloaded Franc3D software from web. I could able to create and import model to osm and take to franc3d .

I am unable to rub run BES and Run anays. While I am trying to run BES the following error is coming

Failed trying to execute BES file from Franc3D.

Concrete Smeared Cracking model in Abaqus

Submitted by mahmood seraji on
Hi
I order to model the cement board material, i am going to use "Concrete Smeared Cracking" model available in Abaqus. I think I have to adjust some variables affecting the properties of the concrete to get the numerical load-deformation response close to that of the cement board.
I will be thankful if anyone help me.
