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
