Description¶
The material type for a step c.d.f. is CDF step.
For this material the c.d.f. is given by
\[
F\left(\Xi\right)=H\left(\Xi\right)\quad,
\]
where \(H\left(\cdot\right)\) is the Heaviside unit step function. The step c.d.f. may be used to model fracture.

<mu>1.0</mu>
<Dmax>1</Dmax>
</damage>
