Comments

  1. USER1, USER2 and USER3 are failure user models that may be created by users.
  2. The user failure law is compatible with shell and solid elements and all material laws.
  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. To program User Failure Model, refer to User Failure Models and Appendix in the User Subroutine Manual.
