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!
