The calculation gets very slow once the cells are inverted. Your definition of the velocity is pushing the nodes beyond the outer domain. It looks like your plate is not symmetric about the crack origin (the left half is narrower than the right half), but your velocities are symmetric. This causes the nodes on the left side of the plate to meet the domain boundary. If you widen the left half of the plate to be the same as the right, or change the velocity for the left half, this should solve your problem. |
