Mapdl.plcint(action='', id_='', node='', cont='', dtype='', **kwargs)#

Plots the fracture parameter ( cint ) result data.

Mechanical APDL Command: PLCINT

Parameters:
actionstr

  • PATH - Plots cint quantities according to path number (default).

  • FRONT - Plots cint quantities distribution along the crack front.

id_str

Crack ID number.

nodestr

Crack tip node number (default = ALL).

Use only for ACTION = PATH. Plots cint contour for an individual crack tip node.

contstr

Contour number (Default = ALL).

Use only for ACTION = FRONT. Plots cint distribution along the crack for a given path.

dtypestr

Data type to output:

  • JINT - J-integral (default)

  • IIN1 - Interaction integral 1

  • IIN2 - Interaction integral 2

  • IIN3 - Interaction integral 3

  • K1 - Mode 1 stress-intensity factor

  • K2 - Mode 2 stress-intensity factor

  • K3 - Mode 3 stress-intensity factor

  • G1 - Mode 1 energy release rate

  • G2 - Mode 2 energy release rate

  • G3 - Mode 3 energy release rate

  • GT - Total energy release rate

  • MFTX - Total material force X

  • MFTY - Total material force Y

  • MFTZ - Total material force Z

  • TSTRESS - T-stress

  • CEXT - Crack extension

  • CSTAR - C2-integral

Notes

The plcint command is not available for XFEM-based crack-growth analyses results processing.
