Ifail_sh Shell failure flag
= 1
Shell is cracked (not deleted), if there is one layer in failure zone.
= 2
The layer tensor stress is set to zero if this layer is in the failure zone, and shell is cracked (not deleted), if all layers are in the failure zone.

Comments

  1. This failure model is available for Shell only.

  2. The fail_ID is used with /STATE/BRICK/FAIL and /INIBRI/FAIL. There is no default value. If the line is blank, no value will be output for failure model variables in the /INIBRI/FAIL (written in .sta file with /STATE/BRICK/FAIL option).
