Hi, I used CTMOPT macro in Ansys classic to create semi elliptical crack with mesh in already existing model. But the macro is not working with different a/c ratio. In Ansys workbench tools are available only for semi elliptical cracks but not for other type of cracks like corner crack. So, I want to know manual procedure to create crack in 3d model and to mesh it with singular quarter point elements. In every document they are saying that they have done it but no detailed information on how they have done it. Can anyone tell me how to do it ansys classic or workbench? or can anyone give example apdl code to create crack and to mesh it?
i got how to mesh it, thank you... i understand how to create crack...create a small volume and delete it to get two crack surfaces.... but removing small volume that represents open crack will yields good results ...??? can we not create two crack surfaces at the crack location with out deleting small volume in designmodeller ??? suppose i am creating semi elliptical crack in 3d plate... i drew semi ellipse by creating plane in crack plane.... now i want to slice material by using crack plane... but i dont want to slice material in the entire body... i want to slice it in crack location only... any idea to do that...??
Dear Saimohan,
if you got the answer plz tell me. I have also the problem for modelling crack in APDL
Yes, I have already created the crack by dividing the volume into two parts. Now I have to asign a sigular element for crack front(tip) since Kscon command is not working in 3D model how can I do it?
Dear Mr.Schütte, Danke für ihre Hillfen. Aber ich könnte nicht den Anhang finden.
