Submitted by mahyar on

Dear Colleague

I modeled a 2D three point specimen with a crack in abaqus, i want to plot J integral against crack extention, but  dont know how to determine the crack extention. i can get the J value from history output, but cannot plot it against crack extention. please help me in this case, thanks in advance.
