What do you mean with placing the crack at the midspan of the beam? Can you be more descriptive of your specific problem?

Are you after the stress intensity factors? Are you trying to predict where the crack will go (KI, KII and KIII)?
If so, I have a set of instructions on how to do that in ANSYS than I can share with you.
Let me understand if this is what you are trying to do.
