v6.04.512 SSNV512 — Block cut by a vertical crack connecting between 2 horizontal cracks with X- FEM

Summary:

This test makes it possible to validate the junction approach with \(\text{X-FEM}\) in the case where a crack connects to 2 distinct cracks. This is a test case where three cracks are introduced. The first two cracks are horizontal. The third vertical crack connects to the first two via the keyword JONCTION of the DEFI_FISS_XFEM operator. We are testing the contact and non-contact approach.
