Dear Teresa, I suggest you first explain us what you are modelling (see also Troubleshooting, 2.1.1) and why you wish to use an interface with zero shear stiffness?

The interface material model in ATENA is a mixed model involing normal and shear parameters. If I want to model pure model I crack propagation with the interface material by discrete crack method, how should I define the material parameters such as c and friction coefficient?
