Hello,

I have defined an initial crack as below. In ABAQUS CAE it only shows that the fracture is in one element (22345) that I have chosen and I assume that the initial crack length is the size of the element. My question is that how can I increase the initial crack length? Because I want to see how initial crack length affects my results.

Thanks in advance

Fracture definition:

*initial condition,type=enrichment
Part-1-1.22345,1,ABC, 1.0,-1.0
Part-1-1.22345,2,ABC, 1.0, 0.0
Part-1-1.22345,3,ABC,-1.0, 0.0
Part-1-1.22345,4,ABC,-1.0,-1.0
Part-1-1.22345,5,ABC, 1.0,-1.0
Part-1-1.22345,6,ABC, 1.0, 0.0
Part-1-1.22345,7,ABC,-1.0, 0.0
Part-1-1.22345,8,ABC,-1.0,-1.0
