    Crack growth through partition?

    Thank you for the answers and yes, i am using abaqus. I read the chapter and it was quite informative, i am still unsure if the initiation criterion has to be fullfilled once again when the crack reaches a new enriched partition of the same material. Materials are CVD Diamond, so a very hard...

    Crack growth through partition?

    Hey guys, i am currently simulating crack growth and Propagation Analysis on on a coated substrate during an indendation process via XFEM. I am not only interested in the initial crack, but rather in the whole cracking process during the complete simulation. To my understanding, multiple cracks...

    Adaptive remeshing with XFEM?

    Yes, i got the same oroblem with multiple cracks when the mesh is too fine. That was one of the reasons why i was wondering if there is such a thing as adaptive remeshing with XFEM enriched elements. But i guess there is not, so i will do a mesh study an check which mesh works the best. Thank...

    Adaptive remeshing with XFEM?

    Okay thanks for the tip. I thought an adaptive remeshing could help with convergence problems though, that was my initial motivation. But you're saying it wouldn't make any difference?

    Adaptive remeshing with XFEM?

    Hey guys, i am currently simulating a crack propagation problem with XFEM in ABAQUS. For the mesh i want to use an adaptive remeshing process to generate the optimum mesh for this problem. I was wondering if there is a possibility in Abaqus to do an adaptive remeshing around the crack tip during...
