FAQ Cast3M
Is it possible to remesh a 3D structure, by example to propagate a crack ?
Here is the way i have found in 2D :
I make a mesh 'SURF1' with triangular elements (supported by RAFT operator).
i run the first computation and generate (CHPO1) a node-field that sustain the reffinement
criteria and I use the RAFT operator (SURF2 = SURF1 RAFT CHPO1). Then I recompute
equilibrium starting with a projection of old displacements and stresses and
internal variables....
If some other solutions are be easier, I would be glad to be aware.
