Comments

  1. Local skew

    Local system means the co-rotational system in case of an isotropic law.

    Local system means the orthotropic system in case of an orthotropic law (Law 14, 24 or 28).

  2. Output values for element flag for deactivation, OFF:
    0.0
    Deleted element
    1.0
    Active element
    2.0 (shells / solids)
    Active element using small strain
    Negative value -1/-2
    When the element is on standby due to rigid body

    Some intermediate values can be found during few cycles before element deletion (progressive reduction of off during a few cycles applies as a multiplicative factor to the stress, so that the stress is progressively removed, and the element is deleted after ~ 10 cycles). This process applies to some element types, but not all.
