crack velocity and FGM

Submitted by heqilin on

hi, everybody

i am going to simulate crack propagate by ABAQUS, but i haven't used ABAQUS before.

now i have two problems:

 1) can abaqus calculate the velocity of crack advancing?



 2)FGM(functionally graded materials ). material property varies at

 different position,such as density ,modulus, possion ration. can

 abaqus deal with this problem by umat .

thanks.
