The Damage
command sets the initial damage state for the selected particles.
Damage (nx),(ny),<(nz)>,<(dn)>,<(dxy)>,<(dxz)>,<(mode)>
where
(nx, ny, nz)
is normal vector for the damage plane.(dn, dxy, dxz)
defines the three damage parameters. These should all be from 0 to 1 where 0 is undamaged and 1 is fully damaged (default is 1).(mode)
damage mode or value for first damage history variable. In 2D calculations, (nz)
and (dxz)
are ignored. For isotropic damage mechanics materials, (dxy)
and (dxz)
are ignored. These ignored parameters are needed for parameter alignment when provided (mode)
.
Damage settings only work for particles with damage-mechanics material types.
