Dear Philipp

From the file foam-extend-foam-extend-4.0-master\tutorials\solidMechanics\elasticAcpSolidFoa m\crackingBiMatDcbDugdale\0\org , we have:

crack
{
type solidCohesive;
relaxationFactor 0.01;
contact no;
penaltyScale 1;
frictionCoeff 0.1;
explicitSeparationDistance no;
value uniform ( 0 0 0 );
}

Please can you explained the meaning of the terms relaxationFactor, contact, penaltyScale, frictionCoeff, explicitSeparationDistance ?

I would need to know what they represent in order to adjust them to my specific crack propagation case.

Thank You.
