A 200*200*400 mm concrete model is prepared in ANSYS. In this model, a crack must be introduced at the center and the growth in the crack is visualized using a smart crack tool. How to perform this?
After designing a beam, choose the area to crack, after which internally pull the carck part.
I hope this may help.
The crack modeling technology in Ansys Workbench is described in the standard tutorials from Ansys. I'm sending you these tutorials with the source files.Try to make examples of Chapter 7 , 8 and 9.These examples describe ways to model cracks.
Unfortunately smart crack tool is not appropriate for concrete and other quasibritle materials. I reccomend you to use phenomenological concrete models, based on the plasticity theory (e.g. Menetrey-William model).
