The XFEMCrackGrowthState object stores the propagating data of an XFEMCrackGrowth object in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the XFEMCrackGrowth object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the XFEMCrackGrowth object.
The XFEMCrackGrowthState object has no constructor or methods.
The XFEMCrackGrowthState object is derived from the InteractionState object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].steps[name].interactionStates[name]
The XFEMCrackGrowthState object has the following members:
A Boolean specifying whether the crack is allowed to grow (propagate) during this analysis step. The default value is ON.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the allowGrowth member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the InteractionState object. Possible values are:
NOT_YET_ACTIVE
CREATED
PROPAGATED
MODIFIED
DEACTIVATED
NO_LONGER_ACTIVE
TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE
INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE
BUILT_INTO_BASE_STATE
