(Integer, maximum 10 digits)

 
E1 Maximum specific energy. 2

Default = 130 (Real)

[ J m 3 ]
E2 Failure specific energy. 2

Default = 230 (Real)

[ J m 3 ]

Stress tensor is reduced (used before version 2018).

Default = 1 (Integer)

 
fct_ID Function identifier for f ( ε ˙ ) . It is the function of specific energy E1 and E2 scaling factor vs. strain rate.

(Integer)

 
Xscale Scale factor for abscissa of the function.

Default = 1.0 (Real)

Comments

  1. The element is deleted, if D=1 for one integration point.(1)
    D = E E 1 E 2 E 1
  2. The specific energy is the current internal energy of the element divided by the current element volume. Internal energy (IE) could be observed in time history plot.

  3. The fail_ID is used with /STATE/BRICK/FAIL and /INIBRI/FAIL. There is no default value. If the line is blank, no value will be output for failure model variables in the /INIBRI/FAIL (written in .sta file with /STATE/BRICK/FAIL option).
  4. The I_Dam option improves damage calculation and stability calculating damage, it is not available for shell elements and material laws N° < 29 . It is available for the /MAT/LAW25 (CRASURV) law, if using /PROP/TYPE51 or /PLY and /STACK options.
