PLCINT

PLCINT, ACTION, ID, Node, Cont, Dtype
Plots the fracture parameter (CINT) result data.

Action

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).

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

Cont

Contour number (Default = ALL).

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

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
DLTA	—	Incremental crack extension in a fatigue/static crack-growth analysis
DLTN	—	Number of incremental cycles in a fatigue crack-growth analysis
DLTK	—	Equivalent stress-intensity factor range in a fatigue crack-growth analysis
KEQV	—	Equivalent stress-intensity factor in a fatigue/static crack-growth analysis
KANG	—	Kink angle (degree) in a fatigue/static crack-growth analysis
R	—	Stress (load) ratio in a fatigue crack-growth analysis
UFAC	—	U-factor (crack closure) in a fatigue crack-growth analysis

Notes

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

This command cannot be accessed from a menu.
