Preprocessing files for ABAQUS XFEM implementation

Submitted by jumar on

Hello,

 

This is my first post in imechanica and i hope you can help me, im working in my finall project to obtain my MsC, im working in the simulation of crack growth in freeting fatigue, i found usefull the article post in imechanica by Eugenio Giner node/4338. Im having problems with the preprocessin files, Can you help me with some information about how to create the input files? (i have some basics using ABAQUS CAE, but i dont know how to create the input files like mOXY.prn, TopNox see article)

 

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english

 *Nset, nset=NodeX2dof

  *include,input=.\files\SETNodeX2dof.prn

 (im trying to define the Nset NodeX2.dof from the node list file SETNodex2dof.prn) but  it dosnt work ant i´m having the next error lyne 

Error in job placa_simple: in keyword *NSET, file "placa_simple.inp", line 59: The following sets/ids do not exist: *
