XFCRKMESH

XFCRKMESH, EnrichmentID, ElemComp, NodeComp
Defines a crack in the model when the crack surface is discretized by MESH200 elements

PREP7: Special Purpose

EnrichmentID: Name of the enrichment specified via the associated XFENRICH command.
ElemComp: Name of the element component consisting of MESH200 elements that form the crack surface.
NodeComp: Name of the node component consisting of the crack front nodes of the crack surface.

Notes

Used in an XFEM-based crack analysis, this command defines a crack in the model when the crack surface is discretized by MESH200 elements. For more informatiom, see MESH200 Element Method in the Fracture Analysis Guide.

Issue the XFCRKMESH command multiple times as needed to define multiple crack surfaces in the model.

This command is valid in PREP7 (/PREP7) only.
