SubscriberHi,
I am working with Mechanical APDL SMART crack initiation and growth tool. There are not many examples to work with. I am using the fracture analysis guide to learn the tool. Is it possible to get the entire code used in Example 3.3? Only the crack initiation part is available in the guide. This would help me to work on other models as well.

SubscriberHi,
I have seen crack growth simulation (Example 3.2.5). I was looking for some smart crack initiation examples. Example 3.3.3 doesn't show the entire code used for the simulation. I was wondering if there are any more examples relating to crack initiaon.
Regards,
Yadu
