Hello all,

I need to simulate three point beam bending test on Asphalt concrete using ABAQUS 6.12. As Asphalt concrete is viscoelastic material, I have given solution procedure as VISCO. To allow the crack propagation, I need to give XFEM crack growth in interaction properties in initial step. I am able to give if I choose solution procedure during loading as Static general. But I am not able to give XFEM crack growth if solution procedure is VISCO. Please suggest me the solution and please let me know if the adopted procedure is correct or not..

Thanks in advance.
