I’m modelling semi-elliptical cracks in Mechanical and I am increasing the number of Mesh Contours (on the crack mesh object) from the default 6 to 10 but my report and results only show the original 6. How can I display all mesh contours (10)?

The automatic report depends on the number of mesh contours it sees in the post-processing objects (Fracture Tool), not what you put in the mesh setting for the crack. So if you change the number of contours on the results under the Fracture Tool to 10, the automatic report table and the post-processing object under the Fracture Tool will have the 10 contours there. Another solve will be required.
