Simulating Crack Initiation and Propagation in Abaqus Using XFEM
In conventional FEM methods for crack propagation, the initial crack location needs to be predefined. This is not necessary when using eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM). In this blog post I thought we would take a small dip into modelling fracture and failure in Abaqus using XFEM.
