Model Fatigue Crack Growth at the Microstructural Scale
Model Fatigue Crack Growth at the Microstructural Scale
(OP)
Hello,
I am working on a project that looks at the effects of the
microstructure on fatigue crack growth in metallic materials.
Thus, I used OOF2 to create a FE mesh based on micrographs that I took from the actual microstructures.
I exported the mesh to Abaqus but I am not very familiar with how to run a fatigue crack growth simulation.
Do you have any idea regarding this problem ?
Thanks,
Tasos

I think that you may need third party software (or some clever scripting) to grow the crack. I haven't used ABAQUS in a few years though.
