Dear Community,

I would like to know whether we can perform high cycle fatigue crack propagation simulation in Abaqus (XFEM)?

The geometry is complex (Front axle carrier). But I know the crack location from experiments.

Till now I was doing just the fatigue analysis in FEMFAT software. But once the crack propagation is involved together with fatigue analysis, I dont know how to use Abaqus and FEMFAT for this. So can I do the whole high cycle fatigue crack propagation simulation in Abaqus?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Praveen
