Comments

1. The syntax /H3D/ELEM/Keyword3/Keyword4/Keyword5 is also valid.
2. When PART IDs are listed after the /H3D/SHELL line the specified results will only be output for those parts.
3. Output can be a, scalar, vector, or tensor as defined in the following tables.

4. The output location in Keyword4 and Keyword5 can be defined via:

   NPT

   Integration points.

   LAYER

   Composite shell layer when using /PROP/TYPE11 (SH_SANDW), /PROP/TYPE10 (SH_COMP).

   PLY

   Composite shell ply when using, /PROP/TYPE19 (PLY) or /PLY.

   MEMB

   Generalized membrane stresses per element. Cannot be used with NPT, LAYER or PLY options.

   BEND

   Generalized bending stresses per element. Cannot be used with NPT, LAYER or PLY options.

5. Output can be requested for a specific location number (I), ALL, and in some case UPPER or LOWER. The output locations are separated by a / and can be in any order.
6. The values of FLD damage factor is equal to the ratio of the actual major principal strain value over the forming limit curve value:(1)
   $$FLDF=\frac{{\epsilon }_{major}}{{\epsilon }_{\lim }}$$

   Where, ${\epsilon }_{\lim }$ is the major principal strain at failure limit from FLD diagram (fct_ID in /FAIL/FLD).

   The FLD compares the ${\epsilon }_{major}$ and ${\epsilon }_{\lim }$ using the same ${\epsilon }_{minor}$ .

   
   
   Figure 1.

   FLDF may be greater than 1, if the option /FAIL/FLD, Ifail_sh=4 is used. In this case, the damage factor is only calculated for post-processing and no elements are deleted.

7. The values of FLD zone index are defined as:

   FLDZ=6

   Failure

   ${\epsilon }_{major}>{\epsilon }_{\lim }$

   FLDZ=5

   Marginal

   ${\epsilon }_{\lim }>{\epsilon }_{major}>{\epsilon }_{m\arg inal}$

   FLDZ=4

   Safe

   ${\epsilon }_{m\arg inal}>{\epsilon }_{major}>\left|{\epsilon }_{minor}\right|$

   FLDZ=3

   Compression

   $-{\epsilon }_{minor}>{\epsilon }_{major}>-{\epsilon }_{minor}\cdot \frac{R_{ani}}{1+R_{ani}}$
