How to find out the stress intensity factor for orthotropic and viscoelastic materials using ansys APDL?

01 January 1970 0 2K Report

KCALC command is not working for orthotropic and viscoelastic materials, same problem can be solved using isotropic property but when we choose orthotropic properties KCALC is not working, so there is any method to get the SIFs of orthotropic viscoelastic materials using Ansys APDL.
