Why the results of stress intensity factor can not converge
Why the results of stress intensity factor can not converge
(OP)
Hi,
I am using Abaqus 6.7-1 to solve the plate with a hole in the center. There are two cacks at left and right of the hole. Because of symmetry problem, I did for a half. However, the SIF could not converge and so much different from the theoretical solution although the I increased the mesh. I attached the input file. I highly appreciate any your help. Thank you.

Anyway, to see the crack you can look at the Engineering features in Assembly section (crack was assigned as a seam).
Thanks
