    Workshop 03.3: Arbitrary Crack
    Type of Analysis
    Fracture Analysis of a 3D Cracked
    Specimen using Arbitrary Crack

    Problem Description
    This tutorial illustrates a fracture
    analysis of a 3D cracked
    specimen under a tensile load.
    The crack is modeled at the
    geometry level by means of a
    construction body. Fracture
    parameters are postprocessed
    using a J-Integral approach.
