Action

PATH

 — 

Plots CINT quantities according to path number (default).

FRONT

 — 

Plots CINT quantities distribution along the crack front.

ID

Crack ID number.

Node

Crack tip node number (default = ALL).

Use only for ACTION = PATH. Plots CINT contour for an individual crack tip node.

Cont

Contour number (Default = ALL).

Use only for ACTION = FRONT. Plots CINT distribution along the crack for a given path.
