Negative value of C* for CT specimen

Submitted by Ran Li on

Dear All

I am trying to calculate C* for 3D CT specimen with side groove (have geometry) by ABAQUS.  The C(t) curve begins with negative value then it turn to positive values.  It confuse me, and I am thinking about that is that because the local coordinate generated when i introduce side groove make ABAQUS confused?

Give me some help,  please?

Regards

Ran
