Hello everyone
I am simulating a simple compression test on a wallette using the Concrete Smeared Cracking (CSC) model in ABAQUS. According to the software documentation cracking and representation of cracking are the main aspects of this model.
In the output section of the description of the CSC model it is said that two special variables, CRACK and CONF, are available when using CSC model:

But unfortunately they are not available in the Field Output Request options.
Does anyone knows exactly what those two variables represent? and whether it is possible to visualize the formation of cracks when using the CSC model in ABAQUS?
Thank you for your replies.
