  I want to learn how to simulate cracks and failure in a simple masonry wall (simulating the paper below)
  
  However, I am very new to abaqus and couldn't find any tutorial about this online. Are there any recommendations on how I should start proceeding this ?
  
  Thank you

  Hi,
  In Ansys, Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis can be carried out using SMART Crack Growth. To get started, you may refer to below materials:
  5.5.5. SMART Crack Growth
  Fracture and Fatigue in Ansys
  ANSYS Mechanical: Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis using SMART Crack Growth | Ansys Knowledge
  Thanks,

  Hi
  We can not help with that you mention, but if you would like to use Ansys then see below.
  Fracture and smart growth mentioned in the post above can not be used on masonry type of materials.
  See this for some ideas on which tools that could be used:
