v6.04.513 SSNV513 — Block divided by three interfaces that connect sequentially with X- FEM

Summary:

This test makes it possible to validate the junction approach with \(\text{X-FEM}\). This is a test case where three cracks are introduced. The first crack cuts the domain completely. The second one is connected to the first one using the JONCTION keyword from the DEFI_FISS_XFEM operator. The third connects to the second. We are testing the contact and non-contact approach.
