XFDATA

XFDATA, EnrichmentID, LSM or -- , ELEMNUM, NODENUM, PHI, PSI
Defines a crack in the model by specifying nodal level set values

Valid Products: Pro | Premium | Enterprise | PrepPost | Solver | AS add-on

EnrichmentID

Name of the enrichment specified via the associated XFENRICH command.

LSM

Indicates that level set values are being specified (default).

ELEMNUM

Element number.

NODENUM

Node number associated with the specified element ELNUM.

PHI

Signed normal distance of the node from the crack.

PSI

Signed normal distance of the node from the crack tip (or crack front). Used only in the singularity-based XFEM method.

Notes

Issue the XFDATA command multiple times as needed to specify nodal level set values for all nodes of an element.

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