Reply To: Fracture simulation of ductile material

[harshvardhan.negi]

Hi,
While this might not be exactly what you want, but there are examples available in the Ansys Help page for simulating the fracture using SMART, VCCT or XFEM method.

Go to Ansys Help page > Mechanical APDL > Fracture Analysis Guide > 3.3.5 Example: Fatigue Crack-Growth Analysis using SMART
3.3. SMART Method for Crack-Growth Simulation

Other examples can utilizing VCCT and XFEM also be found.

I hope this helps.
