DELE	—	Remove failure-criteria types.

Lab

Valid failure-criteria labels. If ALL, select all available (including user-defined) failure criteria.

EMAX	—	Maximum strain criterion (default)
SMAX	—	Maximum stress criterion (default)
TWSI	—	Tsai-Wu strength index (default)
TWSR	—	Inverse of Tsai-Wu strength ratio index (default)
HFIB	—	Hashin fiber failure criterion
HMAT	—	Hashin matrix failure criterion
PFIB	—	Puck fiber failure criterion
PMAT	—	Puck inter-fiber (matrix) failure criterion
L3FB	—	LaRc03 fiber failure criterion
L3MT	—	LaRc03 matrix failure criterion
L4FB	—	LaRc04 fiber failure criterion
L4MT	—	LaRc04 matrix failure criterion
USR1 through USR9	—	User-defined failure criteria

Command Default

FCTYP, ADD, EMAX, SMAX, TWSI, TWSR

Notes

The FCTYP command modifies the list of active failure criteria.

By default, active failure criteria include EMAX, SMAX, TWSI, and TWSR.

The command affects any subsequent postprocessing listing and plotting commands (such as PRESOL, PRNSOL, PLESOL, PLNSOL, and ETABLE).

A single FCTYP command allows up to six failure-criteria labels. If needed, reissue the command to activate or remove additional failure-criteria types.
