I am a beginner in FEM and just started using ANSYS. I need to study the stresses and SIF at the crack front of an elliptical crack inside a material subjected to a stress perpendicular to the crack plane. Any details on how I should build my model?
What is the easiest way to define a cracked area, and crack front and then mesh it
How can i merge together a cracked area and an unmeshed area?
I found a lot of links and articles that states they did it, but none explained the procedure do do it.
Thanks
