Fracture Analysis Consultants Inc. provides consulting services to a variety of industry clients and government agencies. We provide custom software development, support and training, and perform complex crack growth simulations.  Simple graphical user interface with a window to display the 3D model  Import and export of finite element file formats, including ANSYS1 , ABAQUS2 , NASTRAN3  Wizards and dialogs to aid crack insertion, crack growth, and analysis  Finite volume voids and zero volume cracks  Crack front templates include singular wedge or collapsed brick elements for elasto-plastic material behavior  Advancing-front tetrahedral meshing with pyramid transition elements, plus the ability to use ANSYS1 or ABAQUS2 volume meshing  M-integral stress intensity factor (SIF) calculation allows for anisotropic materials and accounts for temperature changes and crack face tractions or contact pressures  User-controlled crack growth rules for kink angle and increment  Fatigue models available to define relative crack extension  Mapping or transfer of initial conditions and boundary conditions  Multiple cracks with multiple crack fronts and multiple load steps/cases  Executables (32 and 64 bit) for Microsoft WindowsTM (XP thru 7) and Linux
