Automatic calculation of critical plane damage parameters by the optimized method presented in the paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020740322008529, based on tensors analysis and Mohr's representation; the stress and strain tensor obtained at each load step of a finite element analysis are employed
- CPOpt_v1.0 (it includes Fatemi-Socie and Smith-Watson-Topper critical plane factors)
The mathematical procedure is described in the article:
