plcint

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

Plots the fracture parameter (CINT) result data.

APDL Command: PLCINT

Parameters:

action

PATH

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

FRONT - Plots CINT quantities distribution along the crack front.

id_

Crack ID number.

node

Crack tip node number (default = ALL).

cont

Contour number (Default = ALL).

dtype

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 - C*-integral

Notes

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