How to include water buoyancies effect in analysis for an abaqus model. The abaqus model is developed using shell and solid elements

Shannon-type expected information gain can be used to evaluate the
relevance of a proposed experiment subjected to uncertainty. The
estimation of such gain, however, relies on a double-loop integration.
Moreover, its numerical integration in multi-dimensional cases, e.g.,
when using Monte Carlo sampling methods, is therefore computationally
too expensive for realistic physical models, especially for those
involving the solution of partial differential equations. In this work,
we present a new methodology, based on the Laplace approximation for the
integration of the posterior probability density function (pdf), to
accelerate the estimation of the expected information gains in the model
parameters and predictive quantities of interest. We obtain a

I've modelled a DCB specimen and applied Boundary conditions and load... I followed the same procedures given in abaqus documentation... As expected the crack initiates and propagates along the interface... I can get the Resultant force vs displacement plot from the analysis.. But i dont know how to plot the fracture toughness vs crack length plot in ABAQUS..

Please help me... Your suggestion would really help me a lot..
