[MOAB-dev] Cohesive elements

[Gerd Heber]

Has anyone tried to represent cohesive elements* in MOAB?
Should we fall back to (degenerate) polyhedra or just
use the built-in triangles and quadrilaterals (and "double up")?

Thanks for your comments.

* Topologically they are pairs of triangles or quadrilaterals
with linear or quadratic shape functions. Their constitutive
law is such that they seize to carry load beyond a certain
limit, at which point they separate. They should be treated like
3D elements, although they have no volume/thickness.
