Finite element method-based crack propagation analysis! Supports multiple crack front edges, multiple cracks, and multiple loading cases.
"FRANC3D" is a 3D fracture analysis software that enables the predictive analysis of crack growth in complex mechanical structural components and the evaluation of their service life. There are no restrictions on the shape of components, local loading conditions, or the evolving crack shapes, allowing for great complexity. Additionally, it is designed to be used in conjunction with general-purpose finite element (FE) analysis programs, and currently supports interfaces with three commercial programs: ANSYS, ABAQUS, and NASTRAN. 【Features】 ■ Utilizes reliable existing FE solvers and initial mesh models ■ Submodel meshing for high-precision arbitrary crack growth analysis ■ User-controlled crack growth laws for kink angles and increments ■ Fatigue model that allows for the definition of relative crack propagation ■ Multiple cracks with multiple crack surfaces and loading settings *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
