The idea that is on my mind is basically two parts. The first part is that that an explosive charge (say TNT) inside a structure will be detonated that will cause shockwave and gas pressure inside the structure, so I need to determine the pressure it exerts to the confining wall (CFD this will be done in openFOAM). Then the second part would be the response (strain and stresses to be in deal.ii) of the walls including cracks,damage, fractures or failures (if there are any, due to the high pressures) using FEA.  So basically, I wanted to couple this two procedures, CFDxFEA in order to have a more exact simulation and result which results to a dynamic remeshing or anything like this for every time step until the explosion fades. I would like to ask if deal.ii is capable of simulating failure due to separation of the elements? This will be done in blastFOAM-preCICE-deal.ii.

As I already said in the other email, "capable" can mean many things.

People have spent their whole careers trying to come up with models that accurately describe cracks, damage, and fractures. It is a very difficult field. By itself, this would make for a good PhD topic. Of course, if you're not interested in accuracy and only want to produce something that looks reasonably realistic for the purposes of movies or computer games, then that's a separate issue.

Either way, coupling this with a CFD solver on a domain that changes dynamically in response to the failure of the solid is, also, quite a difficult area.

So yes, it's *possible* to do what you want. But it will likely take several years of work to come up with accurate model equations and parameters, and an efficient implementation, to do what you describe.
