Crack abaqus 6.8

Due to changes in the name of an internal set created by Abaqus in the. The following are affected: Zencrack 7. Zencrack 7. An updated odb extraction script, zcr-odb. This issue is resolved in version 7. In Abaqus 6. For all nodes on the crack face, a surface normal is automatically defined by Abaqus. Testing with Abaqus 6. This type of out-of-plane virtual crack extension is used by Zencrack for cases where both sides of the crack are modelled.

Hence the results from Zencrack with Abaqus 6. Any errors introduced appear to be small and likely to go un-noticed. An initial bug fix was put in place in Abaqus 6. This did not cover all possible scenarios and a further fix was introduced into Abaqus 6. Some inconsistencies still existed in Abaqus 6. For consistent behaviour in Zencrack analyses when using Abaqus 6.

This aspect of the analysis then behaves like Abaqus 6. The method to achieve this depends upon the Zencrack version:. This warning can be ignored. The issue described in this section affects Zencrack 7. This issue was fixed in version 7. The Zencrack installation program for Windows platforms does not allow automatic configuration of Zencrack with Abaqus Extended Functionality releases. The following procedure should be used:.

Run the setup program as described in the Installation Manual. At the prompt asking for the name of the top level Abaqus folder enter the valid top level folder for your Abaqus EF installation. When asked to enter the Abaqus version enter the appropriate details e. Ignore the subsequent warning that the executable does not exist. Continue the remaining options and use the 's' option to save continue with a 'y' when warned again that the Abaqus location is invalid.

This issue was fixed in Zencrack 7. Zencrack v7. Sorry Amir and Elkhorn.. You can easily simulate crack growth given the way you set up your problem - you have predefined crack path interface , so you don't need predict crack growth directions.

As amubashar mentioned, you can use cohesive elements and corresponding traction laws to model the "bond" between the solids. Watch out for mesh dependence. You can also use COD and other criteria like that. You can do fatigue on it too. Also, the video you posted seem to have a lot of plastic deformation. I suppose to have plans to set that up. Once again, since you have predefined crack surface, it's pretty easy to simulate growth on it.

I hope this helps. You can put singularity into the formulation. It's the sweet deal of the future. Thanks Ccheric. As you pointed out right, I am predefining the initial crack surface shaded region in picture. But once the deformation begins, I would like to see how the surface propagates - in other words, I will not dictate the trajectory of the 'new' surface and would like to see how it grows beyond the initial geometry in Abaqus.

Is this do-able in Abaqus? The procedure you and Ambushar mentioned -namely using cohesive zone method - is it doable in Standard or do i need explicit for that? Please let me know. Unfortunately I have limited access to Abaqus 6. Thanks so much for the information though. We just sent you an email. Please click the link in the email to confirm your subscription!

The word 'crack' in this context means the action of removing the copy protection from commercial software. The last option is used here and a q vector in the direction of the crack is specified.

When the extension direction is defined using q vectors on geometry, only one direction can be specified. In this case that is no problem, because the crack extension direction is the same for all nodes along the crack line. When different q vectors at different nodes are required, this is only possible by using an orphan mesh.

If this option is used, no seam needs to be defined. Instead, no symmetry boundary conditions are applied where the crack is located, allowing it to open. This helps to describe the stress and strain field at the crack.

Midside nodes can be moved towards the crack tip and hexahedral elements can be collapsed to wedges with multiple nodes at each location at the crack tip. The nodes at the same location at the crack tip can either be contrained to move together as a single node, or they can behave as duplicate nodes. This can be modelled using a midside node parameter of 0.

Because the contour integrals are calculated for layers of elements around the crack front, a mesh with layers of elements in rings around the crack tip, a spider web like mesh, is beneficial. To create such a mesh, an additional partition is made, corresponding to a circle centred around the crack tip.

The spider web will be inside this circle. A hex-dominated swept meshing technique is assigned within the newly partitioned cell. If the sweep path is along the edge of the circle, wedge elements will be created at the centre of the circle.

If this is used along with a singularity with collapsed element sides, collapsed elements will be used instead of wedge elements. For more complex geometries where the sweep path is not along the edge of the circle, it can be beneficial to partition an inner and an outer circle and define a single layer of wedge elements in the inner circle.

A locally refined mesh is created by specifying the amount of elements along the circular edge and along the crack. It is recommended to use at least 16 elements around a complete circle. Each ring of elements along the crack corresponds to a contour integral. The first 2 contour integrals are commonly neglected, because the crack tip is so close it can lead to unwanted effects.

Contour integrals close to for example boundaries can be influenced by other things than the crack.
