Damage properties

User material models can be combined with the *PROP_DAMAGE_[XXXX] commands, enabling the use of the build-in damage failure criterion models. This feature is ideal if one want to use well known and defined damage models.

When a damage ID is specified, our software automatically uses the built-in implementation. The only requirements are that the positions of certain properties are defined. Some the variables, such as pos_epsp and pos_temp are overlapping with “Material properties”. They are used for multiple purposes. The optional variable pos_damage_active determines the position within the state array that controls whether damage calculations are active or not for the current integration point. Default is always active.
