How to analyse a simple fracture with ANSYS WB?

[Butters]

My tutor only knows how to do it with APDL and I seek for a more up to date Workbench solution. How do I evaluate stress concentration factor for a surface plate with a fracture going straight through it (like a slit - no crack width, only length)?

Anything that can be done in APDL can be implemented in Workbench by inserting a command object in the analysis tree.

Have you done any internet searches for other methods of analysis? https://caeai.com/resources/fracture-mechanics-workbench-v145-ansys-e-learning
