Samy Elhadi Oussadou

I really appreciate the help that is really nice from you, but my problem is generating the crack automatically without creating crack initiation. or input crack geometry.

My model is for Hydraulic Fracture for concrete gravity dam

Mohamad Khorashad

Mohamed Ramadan,

May this tutorial help you

https://en.banumusagr.com/extended-finite-element-method-xfem-step-by-step-example-for-abaqus-users/

Good luck

Mohamad Khorashad, Thank you so much for your concern it is really helpful now i am trying to calculate the Factor of safety of the dam using XFEM if you have any information please share it with us
