cint

Mapdl.cint(action='', par1='', par2='', par3='', par4='', par5='', par6='', par7='', **kwargs)

Defines parameters associated with fracture parameter calculations

APDL Command: CINT

Parameters:

action

Specifies action for defining or manipulating initial crack data:

NEW

Initiate a new calculation and assign an ID.

CTNC

Define the crack tip node component.

CENC

Define the crack extension node component, the crack tip node, and the crack extension direction.

TYPE

Define the type of calculation to perform.

DELE

Delete the CINT object associated with the specified ID.

NCON

Define the number of contours to be calculated in the contour-integral calculation.

SYMM

Indicate whether the crack is on a symmetrical line or plane.

NORM

Define the crack plane normal.

UMM

Activate or deactivate the unstructured mesh method.

EDIR

Crack-assist extension direction.

PLOT

Plots crack front and crack tip coordinate system.

CXFE

Define the crack tip element or crack front element set. Valid for XFEM-based crack-growth analysis only.

RADIUS

Define the radius at which the given value is to be evaluated. Valid for XFEM-based crack-growth analysis only.

RSWEEP

Define the minimum and maximum sweep angle from existing crack direction. Valid for XFEM-based crack-growth analysis only.
