**r7.02.13** Crack propagation algorithms with X- FEM
==============================================================

**Summary:**

This document presents crack propagation algorithms as part of the X- FEM method [:ref:`R7.02.12 <R7.02.12>`]. The crack is then represented by level-sets. The propagation of the crack therefore consists in updating the level-sets taking into account the advance of the crack front.
