Hello Ashish,

Thank you for the reference. It was indeed helpful. 

Although I have one more doubt. My task is not to simulate the propagation of the crack, but rather to generate a 3D crack( with some length, depth, and thickness) into a model and simulate the model to compression and buckling in the presence of that crack. I have tried generating using the Semi-elliptical cracking method.

Do you think it is possible to generate such a crack where one can know how deep and thick it is?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
