Answer:
The crack depth indicates the height over which damage, or in other words, a stiffness modification, has occurred in the cross-section. The nonlinear calculation and the associated layer arrangement of the FE element (see Image 02) form the basis for the results of this value.
The crack depth is output for each side and in the two principal directions of the cracks. The direction is also able to relate to the trajectories ϕ,hw.
