4. Summary of results

The position of crack \(\mathit{FISS2}\) after the two propagation steps coincides with that expected. This means that DEFI_FISS_XFEM makes it possible to define a crack both on the mesh and on the auxiliary grid. In addition, the information on the location of the domain and on the use of the auxiliary grid is indeed transferred by the operand FISS_GRILLE which was set up to allow the use of the grid for a crack defined on a mesh refined by Homard.
