J-values using cint command

Problems of J-values

Submitted by Young Wook Kim on

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?
