The PropagateLength
command changes the amount of crack growth that occurs each time the crack propagates:
PropagateLength (relLength)
where (relLength)
is the amount of crack growth (entered as relative to cell dimensions) for each increment in crack growth. The default value is 0.5, or half an element per propagation increment. This setting usually works well. For situations where a different choice might help, see the OSUPDocs wiki for details).
PropagateLength
command is only allowed for MPM analyses.
