Thank you for your reply, I am getting this warning message everytime. I am not sure if this is the reason that the problem persists. 

*** WARNING ***                         CP =      79.031   TIME= 10:49:35
 Fracture parameter calculation issue: crack tip node is attached to     
 element type that is not supported, Crack 1, crack tip node 81756,      
 element type 170.  The element is ignored.

This problem has been discssed in previous threads but the soution proposed there does not work for me as I have generated the pre-crack in ACP-Pre and I can only access that surface through "Pre-Generated interface" options in the contact settings.Â
