4. B modeling

4.1. Characteristics of modeling

This is a 3D_HM modeling using quadratic HM- XFEM elements. The column on which the modeling is performed is divided into 5 HEXA20. The interface is unmeshed and cuts off the central element. So we have 3 HM- XFEM elements and 2 classical HM elements (the two hexahedra that form the ends of the column). As indicated in the Figure, the 3 elements XFEM are subdivided into sub-tetrahedra (to perform the Gauss-Legendre integration on either side of the lips of the interface, but these tetrahedral sub-elements are not elements of the mesh).

4.2. Characteristics of the mesh

The mesh consists of 5 quadratic hexahedral cells (HEXA20).

4.3. Tested sizes and results

The results (resolution with STAT_NON_LINE) are summarized in the table below for each of the 8 calculation moments. To test all the nodes of the bar at the same time, we calculate MIN and MAX.
