  Tools are available in the Workbench meshing software that will make it easier to create a crack. I'm not sure if making an inclined crack is possible, but you can investigate.
  Also, you can open SpaceClaim and construct the desired inclined crack shape in geometry, and then mesh that in Workbench.
