Request history output for propagated crack length in XFEM analysis
My crack has been propagated. Now I want to draw a plot of crack length vs No. of Cycles but I dont see any option in history output where the crack length could be requested. Appreciate anyone can help. thanks in advance

How to prevent non-physical interpenetration of particles
Hi all,
I was trying to simulate the mode 2 delamination using End loaded split test using meshfree method (RKPM) by coding in MATLAB. Traction separation law is implemented.
When upward load(displacement controlled) is applied at the bottom portion of the bottom lamina, the bottom lamina is penetrating into the first lamina. At the surface where contact is happening, there is no traction transfer happening.
In ABAQUS, we can define a contact surface and interpenetration can be prevented, ensuring traction transfer.
Simpleware Webinars: Intro to Animations Tools and New Physics Modules - February 11th and 18th
(re-arranged from January 14th and 21st)
We're running two webinars in February on the latest additions to our software ScanIP's 3D image processing, visualisation and model generation capabilities. The webinars are ideal for existing users and those wanting to learn more about creating models from 3D images.
Introduction to the new ScanIP Animations Tool on February 11th (8am/5pm GMT)
