Damage Command

The Damage command sets the initial damage state for the selected particles.

Damage (nx),(ny),<(nz)>,<(dn)>,<(dxy)>,<(dxz)>,<(mode)>

where

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.
