Hi all,

For my research I am using Abaqus 6.14 combined with XFEM crack propagation and direct cyclic analysis to asses the failure of bridge connections due to high cycle fatigue. Once propagation of an initially defined crack occurs I would like to plot the crack length at specific number of cycles. Is there an output request that can be specified that will measure that length of the crack as it moves through the simulation?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
