stress intensity

Cohesive crack - how to verify model? Cant figure out how to output stress intensity factor...

Hello,

I am simulating crack propagation with cohesive elements. In order to verify that my model is working correctly I wanted to compare it to some real world data or benchmark examples. One such example is in the Abaqus Benchmarks manual - a flat plate with a crack in the center.
