ORMGEN3D. 3-D Crack Geometries Mesh Generator

ORMGEN3D is a finite element mesh generator for computational fracture mechanics analysis. The program automatically generates a three-dimensional finite element model for six different crack geometries. These geometries include flat plates with straight or curved surface cracks and cylinders with part-through cracks on the outer or inner surface. Mathematical or user-defined crack shapes may be considered. The curved cracks may be semicircular, semielliptical, or user-defined. A cladding option is available that allows for either an embedded or penetrating crack in the clad material.
