4. Product concept

4.1. Case OPTION = “LONGUEUR”

As an output, we create a table_sdaster table containing four columns:

INST: the moment of calculation

LONG_FIS: distance between the crack point and the reference point (LF see figure2).

LONG_TOT: total length (LF + LZC see figure2)

LONG_COH: size of the cohesive zone (LZC see figure2)

4.2. Case OPTION = “TRIAXIALITE”

In this case, the macro-command produces a map (from NEUT_Rà to an X1 component) sized to the number of cells carrying cohesive elements. For each mesh, the stored value is that of the triaxiality of the stresses, recorded and averaged in the elements of the massif directly adjacent (by edge in 2D or by face in 3D) of this mesh. The constraint field used for this post-processing is the one that corresponds to the last time step archived in evol_noli entered under the keyword RESULTAT.
