FEMAP NASTRAN Cracktip element
FEMAP NASTRAN Cracktip element
(OP)
Hi there,
I'm currently looking into cracking of a plate. I know the NASTRAN solver has these CRAC2D and CRAC3D elements which are used to determine Ki and Kii etc. I'm starting a simple investigation with just a quater of a plate, but cannot find where to specify the CRAC2D element to my mesh in FEMAP. I cannot find any tutorial on how to implement this in FEMAP. Does anybody know how to use this or got some documentation on this?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers
Brick

I tried modelling with the 'start text' option, but this is very inefficient. Do you know any post-processor or script which can calculate the J-integral from NASTRAN output files?
It would help me a lot!
