Fatigue Crack Propagation Analysis by means of ANSYS

Submitted by Sanam Saebi on

HI Every Body

 I am postgraduate student of NavalArchitecture, My thesis is Fatigue Crack Propagation in ship Industry, I want to use Ansys Software for this purpose, at first I generated a plate with a central Crack and did fine mesh around crack and saw the results, for next step I should propagate the crack, my questions are as below:

1. How we can predict the Crack path?

2. how should I growth the crack? shall I clear mesh and extend the crack or.....???? I don't know?

3. How Can I use from Interface Elements?

If common block can be used in UMAT for parallel computing

Submitted by Wang Guofeng on

Hello everyone

I wrote some codes with umat recently .  They can work well with single CPU. However, the results become very bad for several CPUs. 

I define a matrix with COMMON BLOCK and it seems that COMMON BLOCK can not be used for parallel computing. Are there any ways to resolve this problem?

I am not familiar with fortran.Someone told me that the matrix should be defined by MODULE. I don't know about this.

Please give some helps to me

 

regards,
