6. D modeling#
6.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The modeling characteristics are the same as for modeling \(A\).
6.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
The mesh is here refined compared to that of modeling \(C\). We discretize the structure in \(2\times (11\times 55)\) finite elements TRIA3. The interface is therefore present within the central elements through level sets.

6.3. Piloting#
A specific control \(\mathrm{XFEM}\) SAUT_LONG_ARCsur is used to control all the edges intersected by the crack.
6.4. Tested sizes and results#
Fashion \(I\) :
The values of contact Lagrangians LAGS_C are tested at all the nodes of the mesh crossed by the interface after convergence of the iterations of each STAT_NON_LINE operator, these values being uniform on the interface. To test all the values at once, we test the minimum and the maximum number of contact Lagrangians.

The values of the Lagrangian friction values LAGS_F1 are tested at all the nodes of the mesh crossed by the interface after convergence of the iterations of each STAT_NON_LINE operator, these values being uniform on the interface. To test all the values at once, we test the minimum and the maximum of the Lagrangian friction values.

6.5. Comments#
The contact and friction values of the Lagrangians are calculated explicitly as a function of the displacement jump that is controlled. It is therefore natural to have almost zero errors.
