  After I have done transient analysis for historical tower with solid 65 element, I get this plot. But are these blue lines cracks or not?

  Aren't these blue lines just showing the elements in the mesh?
  
  I thought cracks showed as red lines.

  Maybe nothing is wrong and the load is not large enough to crack the part.

  I don't think the mesh is fine enough to represent cracks. I think you need 10x or more elements in the location of highest stress than you have in this mesh.
