Dear Renato, I'm not working directly with libmesh, but rather I'm using the MOOSE framework (http://mooseframework.org), which is based on libemesh. My understanding is that libmesh does not support cohesive elements and, as today, there is no plan to implement this feature because the same results can be achieved by using interface and constraints.
I'm working on implementing a cohesive zone model in MOOSE but I don't know if what I'm doing can be translated to libmesh directly, as I'm not really familiar with it. John please correct me if I said something wrong. Hope this help. ________________________________ From: Renato Poli <rebp...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 8:13:37 AM To: John Peterson Cc: Rovinelli, Andrea; libmesh-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Libmesh-users] Cohesive elements support?
