    Can crack propagation for anisotropic hyperelastic materials be modeled in XFEM?

    Hello,

    I am using ABAQUS6.10-1 and I noticed the manual said XFEM can only be used for isotropic materials.

    Can I add material orientation in user subroutine to study crack growth using XFEM?

    Thank you so much!
