Dear researchers,
Has anyone used abaqus for fracture crack growth using XFEM.
I wanted to ask if the fracture crack growth criterian as fatigue is available in abaqus 2019 version. Because I could not find in my abaqus expicit/standard.
Please let me know, if you have used any special provision for that.
Thank you,
Asmita
@Asmita, different stress ratios (R) should be applied to simulate fatigue crack growth.

Thank you alpesh and Emre, I figured that we have to add data lines to include fracture criterion to be fatigue.
That tutorial helped a little and led me to find the solution.
Has anyone used subroutine for a different crack growth law in abaqus?
