Software Meshes Structural Cracks

    July 27, 2006
    FEACrack V2.7 generates 3D crack meshes. Users need not be FEA specialists.

    The intuitive interface guides users step by step through entering model data, running analysis, and viewing results. A library includes structural geometries and crack shapes. Simply select the geometry, crack shape, and enter relevant dimensions. For more advanced analysis, userdefined geometry can place a 3D-crack mesh anywhere in a larger structure. The mesh generator creates ready-to-run input files for Abaqus, Ansys, and Warp3D, and creates neutral files for Femap and Patran.
