Templates

Although the e-Handbook can be used to create custom crack geometries, it also allows to load template input files. This is an attractive alternative to use the e-Handbook. One can directly used the template or can modify any portion of the template input file. For example, the material constants and/or loading can be changed while keeping the crack geometry. After loading the template input file, make modification and save a new input file before running the FORTRAN program.
