fracture strain

[iman2008]

Hi Seismostruct
1.why the check box of apply material's fracture strain in project setting\general is inactive? when i assign fracture strain in fracture strain dialog box of material properties and run the analysis then an error appear:"note that,though there are material fracture strains different than zero,you have selected in the setting dialog box not to apply fracture criteria.consequently the material fracture criteria will not be activated."
2.Is seismostruct eliminate the fibers witch fracture according to the dynamic time history analysis?

Hi Iman

2) the implementation of the 'fracture strain' facility is not yet finalised, hence this function is not working.

2) in theory yes, but, as stated above, this facility is currently not working.
