This document defines a model to simulate crack initiation and propagation in a plate with a hole using the extended finite element method (XFEM). It specifies the material properties, geometry, mesh, loads, and steps for the analysis. The plate will be loaded in tension along its length by prescribing displacements on the top and bottom edges. The model includes an initial crack near the center hole and will analyze how the crack propagates through the plate under loading.
