An example for a model to predict crack propagation by using Cohesive zone in Abaqus

In this video, you will learn how to create a simple model to study crack propagation through a part. Cohesive is a method in Abaqus which allows you to analyze the fracture by crack. In addition, this method is very fast and appropriate to create large models. The video is short so you can learn this in less than 11 minutes.

Thank you for the video. How we can request or generate Strain energy release rates output for this simulation (as you introduced in the beginning)?

Sir, why upper parts also have high stress values?

Hi Sir, Thanks for the video. Just one question: How is important the thickness of the cohesive component? In order to predict crack propagation by using a cohesive zone, you have defined 3 separated components: 1, 2 (deformable), and 3 (cohesive) where the cohesive components have 0.001 mm of thickness. Could I define a different value of thickness? thanks

is the model really solid or thin shell? I do think you have created a wrong section.

Hi sir, Can you help me, please? When I enter a new file in ABAQUS I see a same eigen value Although I changed the file name? Greetings
