5. D modeling#
5.1. Characteristics of modeling D#
The fourth cut we are testing again corresponds to a case where two of the edges of TETRA10 see the lsn cancel out exactly twice, at one of their ends and at their midpoint. An example of this configuration is shown in Figure.
Figure 5.1-a : representation of the cut of the D modeling
For cutting, we come back to the more classical case represented in Figure, whose subtetrahedron cutting is detailed in [R7.02.12].
Figure 5.1-b : : corresponding healthy configuration
5.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
To « find yourself » in this cutting configuration, lsn is defined node by node. Indeed, it is difficult for the*lsn* to show a function that brings us back to the configuration of Figure. The*lsn* value for each node is summarized in Figure.

The edges of TETRA are then intersected by the level set at the following 5 points:
Intersection point |
Coordinates |
IP1 |
(1,0,0) |
IP2 |
(0.5,0.5,0) |
IP3 |
(0.5,0,0.5) |
IP4 |
(0,0.25,0.75) |
IP5 |
(0,0, \(\frac{6}{7}\)) |
5.3. Tested sizes and results#
After executing command MODI_MODELE_XFEM, we check that the 5 intersection points IP1, IP2,, IP3, IP4 and IP5 are in the group NFISSU and that their position is correct.

The cut mesh (Figure) was also post-processed using SALOME. The cut obtained is in accordance with expectations, with 4 subtetrahedra that are consistent with the discontinuity.
