SMART Crack Growth Error

      Hi all.


      I am currently doing a research on laminate composite crack growth using SMART Crack Growth feature in ANSYS R19.1, based on this tutorial. When I follow the tutorial there is nothing error, but when I was changed the geometry, I faced an unknown problem that stated in Messages prompt. It said:

      SMART remeshing algorithm does not produce new crack surface with a good quality mesh for Cgrow ID 1. Crack propagation is stopped.


      Based on my problem, I would ask two questions:
      1. Is SMART Crack Growth feature depend on the geometry ? If yes, how should the geometry look like ?
      2. What is the parameter of good quality mesh for Cgrow ID 1 ? Is there any method of meshing that need to use for SMART Crack Growth ?

      I also attached the pictures of my error result geometry and error message.
      Hope it can be answered immediately. Thank you so much.
