plcint

Results.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.
