Reply To: How can I explore crack location probability in ansys

[April Wang]

Ansys does not do crack initiation as of yet, so user has to have a criteria (max principle stress, etc.) to know when and where to model their crack. So the question is do you have such criteria and then what is the expectation. Also if you want cracks to initiate during solve time based on reaching this criterion, that is not possible at the moment.
