Description

Product Overview:

Crack propagation in metals is a critical concern due to its potential to cause sudden and catastrophic failures. This tutorial introduces the fundamentals of cracks in metals and explores one of the most widely used simulation approaches—the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT)—to model brittle crack propagation using Abaqus/Standard.

By following this tutorial, you’ll learn how to simulate a crack in a simple component using VCCT, set up the required interactions, and evaluate the fracture response. The video is concise and designed for practical use, offering all necessary files to help you apply the technique quickly to your own models.
