CrackTractionProp Command

The CrackTractionProp command defines a custom traction law to be dynamically inserted whenever this crack propagates:

CrackThickness (law)

where (law) is material ID for a previously defined traction law material.

Notes

  1. A CrackTractionProp command must come after a NewCrack command to create a crack. Its setting applies only to the current crack being created.
  2. This command is only needed if you want this crack to override the traction law selected for insertion defined by the Propagate command or by a custom traction law defined by a material.
