About this document
XFEM Tutorial for ABAQUS Analysis by coolbks is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses an XFEM (extended finite element method) analysis in ABAQUS to simulate crack propagation in a single edge notched beam (SENB) specimen undergoing 3-point bending. It describes the material properties and contact definition used. It highlights the STATUSXFEM scalar variable that indicates crack extent and PHILSM/PSILSM functions that define crack location. A tutorial video demonstrates the XFEM simulation of SENB cracking in ABAQUS. References for further understanding XFEM and its im
