Summaries of results ======================= It is possible to compare the calculation time for the same number of propagation steps (15) of the three methods. +--------------------+-----------+--------------------------+ |**Mesh** |**Method** |**Time (** :math:`s` **)**| +--------------------+-----------+--------------------------+ |:math:`40\times 101`|Meshing |21.7 | + +-----------+--------------------------+ | |Simplexe |18.8 | + +-----------+--------------------------+ | |Upwind |23.7 | + +-----------+--------------------------+ | |geometrical|21.2 | +--------------------+-----------+--------------------------+ The results make it possible to validate on a simple case the calculation of stress intensity factors in :math:`I` mode for the elements X- FEM for the four meshing, simplex, upwind and geometric methods.
