Plotting Crack Propagation using XFEM
Hi,
I am trying to understand Abaqus Benchmark example 1.19.2 - Crack proagation in a plate with a hole simulated using XFEM.
I ran the python script provided "crackprop_hole_lefm_xfem_cpe4.py" from the site: http://dsk.ippt.pan.pl/docs/abaqus/v6.13/books/bmk/default.htm?startat=c...
I want to try and output figure 1.19.2 - 4.
I have create a path --> each node starting from left to the end of the plate.
Next, Tools > XYdata > Create Path > Selected defined Path (maybe issue here) > Define Field output and frame > Plot and I cannot get the same curve.
Potential Issue:
1. Crack path was not define properly.
2. Field output was defined wrongly. I'm assuming Mises?
3. Frame was defined wrongly.
I just want to learn to plot a load vs crack length curve.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
