I am modeling a timber beam using Quads Damage criteria, I introduced a XFEM crack from [Interaction>special>crack] in this part I selected whole instance and I didn't specified any crack direction and also I left the contact property as default.

In step I I changed the increment size to 0.001-1E-015-0.1.

When I ran the job, faced a convergence error. It is good to say in the results I can see the occurrence of crack but I don't know why it stopped progress!!!
