Comments

The failure criteria is only compatible with fabric material /MAT/LAW58 (FABR_A).
Failure and damage is defined independently in each direction ( $i$ =1,2), if:(1)
$ε_{i} \geq ε_{f i} \Rightarrow D_{i} = \frac{ε_{i} - ε_{f i}}{ε_{r i} - ε_{f i}}$

Where, $ε_{i}$ is the fiber tensile strain.

The fiber stress will be reduced by:(2)
$σ_{i} = σ_{i} \cdot (1 - D_{i})$
Element deletion could also be controlled by P_thickfail in /PROP/TYPE16.
The fail_ID is used with /STATE/SHELL/FAIL and /INISHE/FAIL. There is no default value. If the line is blank, no value will be output for failure model variables in the /INISHE/FAIL (written in .sta file with /STATE/SHELL/FAIL option).
Element will be deleted only if damage values in both directions reach limit values D= 1.0 in all integration points. Maximum damage value D can be observed by using /ANIM/SHELL/DAMA in Engine.
