i am having a difficulty in modeling a crack growth using the XFEM. what is the difference between specifying the crack path and when u don`t specify it? 

when i specify the crack path the surface separation begins even if i applied small loads value. But when i don`t specify the crack path it never separates.

Does anyone has an answer for me? thanks.

Hello Every one..

 

      I am Devarajan.K I am New to abaqus. i want to anaysis vibration on cantilever beam when impact load acting on the beam. i dont know how to give   impact load on the beam. only ramp input load is there in abaqus. please help in this regarding how to give impact load on beam. please let inform me as soon as possible. this is my project work.

 

Thanks nd Regards
