Products: Abaqus/Explicit Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: New damage initiation output is now available in Abaqus/Explicit to improve capturing the results of your analysis.
Description: The following damage initiation field element output variables are now available:
DMICRTMAX element output generates three element output quantities:
DMICRTMAXVAL, maximum damage initiation value
DMICRTTYPE, damage initiation type for which the maximum damage initiation was reached
DMICRTPOS, section point number in the beam or shell section for which the maximum damage initiation was reached; for solid elements, this value is one.
EDMICRTMAX whole shell element output generates four output quantities:
EDMICRTMAXVAL, maximum damage initiation value
EDMICRTLAYER, damage initiation layer for which the maximum damage initiation value occurred
EDMICRTTYPE, damage initiation type for which the maximum damage initiation was reached
EDMICRTINTP, integration point number for which the maximum damage initiation was reached; for reduced-integration elements, this value is one.
