Abstract:
      A three dimensional fracture analysis software called FRANC3D (FRacture ANalysis Code in 3 Dimensions) is introduced. FRANC3D combined with OSM (object solid modeler) and BES (Boundary Element System) all together compose a full set fracture analysis system, which have the capabilities for modeling arbitrary shaped cracks, simulating the crack growth, etc. It has a powerful pre| and postprocessor, and a flexible user's graphics interface. At last, two samples are given to prove the correctness and ability of the FRANC3D.
