I have a geometry and a finite element method where there are a couple internal interfaces across which I want to enforce some fairly simple jump conditions.One recommendation I've gotten has been to align the mesh with the interfaces and generate zero thickness elements along the interfaces, so that every nodal point on the interface is associated with a duplicate node. Is there a mesh generator that will do something like this for unstructured meshes? (I cannot use structured meshes in my application.)The idea is to do XFEM to account for the interface conditions, and generating zero thickness elements seems like the simplest way to implement it.
Is there a mesh generator that will generate zero thickness elements for interfaces?
