how to model a 3-D crack in ansys
i want to create a crack in a cantilever beam, but i m new in this field. please tell me how to model a crack in beam when beam is meshed using 1) beam elements 2) solid elements?
please refer any good tutorials in this field.

input stiffness matrix to ansys
Hi everybody
Im working on a project about Finite element modeling of Contact. Im not allowed to use contact solving feature of ANSYS and i should use its Macro Programming. in this case i should read stiffness matrix from ansys, add some row and column to it and input it back to ansys and solve it.
I have two problem with this, first i dont know how to input modiffied stiffness matrix back to ANSYS..
FSI Analysis to Understand Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
1. We present an interesting application of ADINA FSI in the study of carpal tunnel syndrome. The analyses involve large deformations and contact of multiple flexible bodies which are immersed in a fluid:

Geometric Nonlinear Finite Element Program
I'm programming a finite element program to analyze the force of submarine pipeline.When the pipeline is lifted highly from seabed，it is a large deformation problem.
Is there any open soure to solve the problem?
Give me some advices.
Thanks a lot!
