ANSYS Crack Tip Meshing
ANSYS Crack Tip Meshing
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to insert a crack in a model using the macro CTMOPT in Ansys 13.
It is a surface crack, full crack. I get an error claiming 'Please check the workplane orientation and crack dimensions'
Anyone has solutions/tutorial for proper use of this macro?
Thanks!

have you tried the ANSYS helpdesk ??

Thanks rb1957,btw!
RE: ANSYS Crack Tip Meshing
why do you think your geometry is complex ? does the macro work for (is appliciable to) your elements ??
RE: ANSYS Crack Tip Meshing
Yeah, I've tried copying the example for a continous/smooth volume. My doubt is if the Macro is applicable for volumes with discontinuities/not smooth, which isn't explained. ALso, I'd like a heads up on the different parameters as well, which aren't clearly explained. A better example or explanation of its features would help.
Thanks!

This is the example given, FYI. I'd like to insert a crack at the intersection of two volumes, like a step. Not able to.
A crude example would be, I would like to insert a crack at the intersection of the boss/riser and the smooth surface. Any idea?
