Generates an Abaqus simulation batch describing a cracked half-plane, and outputs the J-integral

Contents

jBatch.py

Run this script in Abaqus. It will produce a batch with a number of simulations. All depicting a cracked plate, with constant crack length, subjected to a constant displacement normal to the crack-plane. The main objective of these simulations is to read the J-integral.

jRead.py

Reads the .dat-files produced by jBatch.py. If you wish to change parameters in jBatch, the changes also need to be applied to jRead.py. This script might require you to install a couple of python packages.
