Hi All

I am Using ABAQUS6.8 EF1 to solve some crack problems. I am using ABAQUS/STANDARD and ABAQUS/EXPLICIT for solving the above problem.

I want to plot a curve between CTOD and Crack growth (Δa) of a surface crack. I am able to evaluate the CTOD from 45 degrees intecept concept.But I don't know how to evaluate the Crack growth (Δa).

Can anybody help me in this regard. Is there any way to directly get it from ABAQUS or any post processing  is needed...?

Please try to help in this regard.. Thanks in advance
