Topic: pure model I crack modeled with interface material

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?

Re: pure model I crack modeled with interface material

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?
