SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on analyzing a simple fracture using ANSYS Workbench (WB) rather than APDL. The user seeks to evaluate the stress concentration factor for a surface plate with a slit-like fracture. It is established that any analysis achievable in APDL can also be performed in Workbench by utilizing a command object within the analysis tree. Additionally, a resource link for fracture mechanics in Workbench is provided for further learning.
PREREQUISITES
- Familiarity with ANSYS Workbench interface
- Understanding of fracture mechanics principles
