I'm working on fracture mechanics for my undergraduate project. My advisor has asked me to simulate the crack growth in a CT specimen using ABAQUS. When searching for tutorials about XFEM based crack growth, I found these: http://www.matthewpais.com/2d-crack-initiation
Now my problem is that even though I did everything the tutorial asks me to do, when I submit the job, I'm getting a zero element size error. Can Anyone help me with this?
Any kind of help regarding this topic will be high appreciated.
