fracture.normal
Syntax
- vec = fracture.normal(frac)
- fracture.normal(frac) = vec
Get/set the fracture normal.
Note
Returns: v - normal vector Accepts: v - normal vector Arguments: frac - fracture pointer
Component Access
f = fracture.normal
(frac)->x
fracture.normal
(frac)->x
= f
- f = fracture.normal.x(frac)
- fracture.normal.x(frac) = f
Get/set the \(x\)-component of the fracture normal.
Note
- The fracture must fall completely within the model domain.
- The sign of the normal is inverted if the {\(y\)-component in 2D; \(z\)-component in 3D} is less than 0.
- The provided normal is normalized.
Returns: f - \(x\)-component of the fracture normal Accepts: f - \(x\)-component of the fracture normal Arguments: frac - fracture pointer
Access other vector components (\(y\), \(z\) (3D ONLY)) by substituting the component name where \(x\) appears above. See Member Access Operator for information about accessing members from data types using ->
.
Deprecated Component Access
Component access by adding an optional integer in the function arguments (e.g., f = fracture.normal(frac, 3)
) is deprecated. It remains available but will not be supported in future versions. See Component Access with Integers in FISH on the Deprecated Commands and FISH page for details.
