3. B modeling#

This is the “C_ PLAN “modeling in mechanics, and the” PLAN “modeling in thermal.

3.1. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh contains all types of linear meshes that can support finite elements X- FEM from “C_ PLAN “modeling in mechanics, and from” PLAN “modeling in thermal. The cracks are arranged in such a way that all the X- FEM elements of the modeling are tested. The mesh, as well as the 3 cracks in question, are represented in the figure below.

The mesh also contains two orphan nodes, from which two POI1 meshes are constructed to assign two MECA_2D_DIS_T_N elements.
