  Hi,
  Can anyone please explain if there is a way that I can perform linear buckling analysis on a cracked plate?
  The material is linear structural steel, and I have fixed BCs. on the both ends.
  As I try, this message appears:
  The current analysis is not supported with cracks defined under the fracture folder.

  Delete the fracture folder.
  Open the geometry in SpaceClaim.
  Create the crack shape and subtract it from the solid.

  How can I calculate the SIF (stress intensity factor) based on your specified model?
  As far as I know, using ANSYS fracture mechanics tool one just needs to specify the results under the SOLUTION menu.

  Yes, the SIF is one of the results available in a Fracture Tool in the Solution branch of Mechanical.
