[Geoqus] faults in Abaqus

[Jose Dirkzwager]

Andrea,

Yes, you can model fractures with Abaqus, please read the manual
There are 146hits in the "Analysis" manual and 18hits in the "Example 
problem" one.
Download the examples (or copy and paste) and run those.
When you have any more specific problems/questions after that, post those.

good luck and let us know your progress
Jose
