the steps to follow for numerical modeling
(OP)
good day everyone
i have a mathematical model in form of equations to calculate the fracture energy,
what are the steps to follow to use these equations in abaqus in order to do a numerical modeling of my problem.
Best regards

Model what? You can have a crack in pretty much anything.
RE: the steps to follow for numerical modeling
Yes, i have a notched specimen(CT or SENT), and i have to determine rhe energy parameter J when dealing with fracture of a plastic material. The energy parameter J is expressed in a form of equation in which a geometrical parameter and the crack length.
so, what are the steps to follow to determine numerically this parameter.
thanks for your help.
RE: the steps to follow for numerical modeling
Abaqus is capable of simulating monotonic crack propagation via a method known as XFEM, again I suggest working through the tutorials.

or it exists Handy in abaqus.
thanks sir.
RE: the steps to follow for numerical modeling
It maybe that your particular material is not covered in Abaqus & you will have to write your own subroutine but the only way you will know that is to read the documentation & work through the tutorials.
