Requires Basic StressCheck

• Reliable  computation of Stress Intensity Factors (SIF) and energy release rates (ERR, via J-Integral).
• Automatic meshing of embedded cracks
• Point-and-click extractions of the SIF and ERR distributions with automatic convergence information
• Provides essential feedback to support 2D or 3D crack growth analysis in tools such as AFGROW.
• Includes an automated Crack Path Analysis tool for 2D planar problems
• Fully supports multi-body contact for capturing fastener propping effects
• Compute KI, KII, and T-Stress for cracks using the superconvergent contour integral method
• Compute the J-integral for isotropic or orthotropic materials for failure modes I, II, and III
• KI, KII, and KIII can be obtained from the J-integral computation
• Error estimation in all quantities is determined automatically
