StressCheck Tutorial: Transitioning from Part Thru to Thru Crack
Abstract: Embedding an elliptical part thru crack in an offset hole edge, then transitioning the parametric crack from a part thru to a thru thickness configuration. Crack automeshing strategies, including recommendations for increasing the boundary layer Ratio value once the crack has transitioned to a thru thickness configuration.

“Small errors in modeling can lead to substantial errors in joint performance prediction. To alleviate this problem, the CAI used the handbook functionality of ESRD Inc.’s (St. Louis, Mo.) trademarked StressCheck® P-version finite element software to develop reusable models of typical joints.”
