Dear Wen,

I agree that level_set implementation is not well documented in Getfem.
See anyway the page
http://download.gna.org/getfem/html/homepage/userdoc/xfem.html

Levelset are simply some scalar field defined on a mesh. Each level-set
object has in fact two scalar fields. The primary level set and a
secondary one. The secondary is optional. I tserves to limits the domain
of the primary level-set. It comes from crack propagation approximation.
See for instance the paper: Moës N, Gravouil A, Belytschko T. Non-planar
3D crack growth by the extended finite element and level sets. Part I:
mechanical model.International Journal for Numerical Methods in
Engineering 2002.
