hi, recently i modeled inner part-through crack of a cylinder using ANSYS.
crack line is modeled by SPLIN so this shape is elliptical.
the purpose of this model is calculating a J-values using cint command.
but, i faced a problem that is i don't know how i define the NORM.
in help, NORM is the part of normal direction of crack surface. so, i defined it as NORM,1,3 since
i used cylindrical coordinate system and normal diretion is z-direction.
but, J-vales are divergenced not convergenced. what can i do anymore?
if you have some experiecnces of this matter, plese give me some tips or express your opinion freely.
thanks to read. have a nice day.
