      Hi everyone,

      I would like to ask, using LS DYNA, is it possible to use xfem shell to model a crack inside a larger solid elemented body?

      Hi I would suggest to post this in the LS-Dyna forum (this forum is for 3D design, SC, Discovery).

      Hi Joseph, 

      I guess you can progress to do that as long as the xfem shell is correctly coupled and the crack is only in the shell not in solid though. 

      Cheers, Ram
