Main Help → All Commands → Deprecated Commands → CrackInterface
This command has been deprecated. You should set interfacial properties on a crack by using the (lawid)
parameter in the NewCrack command instead.
The CrackInterface
command assigns custom interface parameters to the current crack:
CrackInterface (Dt),(Dnt),<(Dnc)>
where (Dt)
, (Dnt)
,and (Dnc)
will create and use a linear imperfect interface contact law for that crack.
In brief, you use the ContactCracks command to select default contact properties for all cracks in a simulation. If you want some cracks to have linear interface parameters, you can use a deprecated CrackInterface
command sometime after starting the crack with a NewCrack command (but using the (lawid) parameter in the NewCrack command is preferred).
CrackInterface
command is only allowed for MPM analyses.
