Calculating SIF in Zencrack

Submitted by Xambel on

Hello,

 

I'm trying to run an analysis on Zencrack on a CTS (compact tension specimen) with a through crack block to evaluate stress intensity factors. I believe there's something going on but I surelly can't find what's missing. This is the message from my report file :

 

***WARNING

 Expected output file from an Ansys solid model run does not exist:

 fendar.elex

 

 ***WARNING

 Expected output file from an Ansys solid model run does not exist:

 fendar.xyzx

 Check the Ansys output for errors: fendar-zcr.out

 ***ERROR 3136

 There were    1 errors processing the uncracked Ansys mesh.

 For details see file c:\users\paulo\desktop\tese\ansys\malha_teste\malha.ansout. 

 

and this is the warning on the fendar-zcr,out file

*** WARNING ***                         CP =       0.984   TIME= 16:11:13

 Display device has not yet been specified with /SHOW.  Command ignored.  

CONSTRAINT AT ALL PICKED AREAS

      LOAD LABELS = UX    UY    UZ  

      VALUES =      0.0000         0.0000    

 

 SURFACE LOAD ON ALL PICKED AREAS 

     LOAD KEY =1         LOAD LABEL = PRES

     VALUES =         -0.30000E+08          0.0000   

 

Can someone give me a tip? 

 

I think maybe constraints may not be well defined
