Abaqus Tutorial 15A – Ply Failure with X-FEM

In this tutorial, you will modify a structural model of a stiffened panel to define the material properties including the ply failure parameters and create X-FEM domains. You will then perform a static analysis and visualize the simulation of the crack propagation with Abaqus/Viewer.

The tutorial will help you to:

  • Define the material properties of a composite ply
  • Define a ply failure criterion
  • Create an enriched X-FEM domain
