The XFEMCrackGrowth object defines the enrichment activation state for an XFEMCrack.
The XFEMCrackGrowth object is derived from the Interaction object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].interactions[name]
This method creates an XFEMCrackGrowth object.
mdb.models[name].XFEMCrackGrowth
Required arguments
A String specifying the repository key.
A String specifying the name of the step in which the XFEMCrackGrowth object is created.
A String specifying the XFEMCrack object associated with this interaction.
Optional argument
A Boolean specifying whether the crack is allowed to grow (propagate) during this analysis step. The default value is ON.
Return value
A XFEMCrackGrowth object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the data for an existing XFEMCrackGrowth object in the step where it is created.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the XFEMCrackGrowth method, except for the name and createStepName arguments.
Return value
Exceptions
This method modifies the propagating data for an existing XFEMCrackGrowth object in the specified step.
Required argument
A String specifying the name of the step in which the interaction is modified.
Optional argument
A Boolean specifying whether the crack is allowed to grow (propagate) during this analysis step. The default value is ON.
Return value
Exceptions
The XFEMCrackGrowth object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the XFEMCrackGrowth method.
