Hello, I'm working on some fracture mechanic simulation with abaqus.
And I have some question about the unit of SIF from the result. In the result file(.dat), there is no written unit about the SIF, only numbers.
Normally, widely used unit for SIF is MPa*m^(1/2) as far as I know. But in the ABAQUS, there is no specific unit to set, so we should follow the unit sets for unity.
For my case, I used m(meter) for length, so the pressure unit should be Pa(pascal). And then, the unit of SIF should be Pa*m^(1/2) , not MPa*m^(1/2) ?
Any opinion or help will be appreciated. Thank you.
