struct.shell.plastic.idata

Syntax

l := struct.shell.plastic.idata(p)

struct.shell.plastic.idata(p) := l

Get and set the integration point layout via the number of integration points through the thickness $(N_t)$ and over the element area $(N_a)$ for an element with a plastic material model. The integration point layout is shown here. Setting the integration point layout is equivalent to issuing the structure shell cmodel plastic-integration (or liner/geogrid) command.

Returns:

l - integration point layout ordered as $(N_t,N_a)$

Accepts:

l - integration point layout ordered as $(N_t,N_a)$

Arguments:

p - pointer to a shell-type element
