-\page double_nodes_page Duplicate Nodes
+\page double_nodes_page Duplicate Nodes or/and Elements
-\n This operation allows to duplicate nodes of your mesh, which can be
-useful to emulate a crack in the model.
-Duplication consists in replacement of an existing mesh element by another one.
-Lower level elements of the duplicated ones are cloned automatically.
+\n This operation allows duplicating mesh nodes or/and elements, which can be useful to emulate a crack in the model.
-To duplicate nodes:
+Duplication consists in creation of mesh elements "equal" to existing ones.
+
+To duplicate nodes or/and elements:
-- From the \b Modification menu choose \b Transformation -> \b Duplicate
-\b Nodes item or click "Duplicate Nodes" button in the toolbar.
+
- From the \b Modification menu choose \b Transformation -> Duplicate
+ Nodes or/and Elements item or click "Duplicate Nodes or/and
+ Elements" button in the toolbar.

-- Check in the dialog box one of two radio buttons corresponding to
-the type of nodes duplication operation you would like to perform.
-- Fill the other fields available in the dialog box (depends on the chosen
- operation mode).
-- Click the \b Apply or Apply and Close button to perform the operation of nodes
- duplication.
+- Check in the dialog box one of four radio buttons corresponding to
+ the type of duplication operation you would like to perform.
+- Fill the other fields available in the dialog box (depending on
+ the chosen operation mode).
+- Click the \b Apply or Apply and Close button to perform the
+ operation of duplication.
-\n "Duplicate Nodes" dialog has two working modes:
+\n "Duplicate Nodes or/and Elements" dialog has four working modes:
-- \ref mode_without_elem_anchor "Without the duplication of border elements"
-- \ref mode_with_elem_anchor "With the duplication of border elements"
+- \ref mode_without_elem_anchor "Duplicate nodes only"
+- \ref mode_with_elem_anchor "Duplicate nodes and border elements"
+- \ref mode_elem_only_anchor "Duplicate elements only"
+- \ref mode_group_boundary_anchor "Duplicate nodes on group boundaries"
\anchor mode_without_elem_anchor
-Without duplication of border elements
-In this mode the dialog looks like:
+Duplicate nodes only
\image html duplicate01.png
Parameters to be defined in this mode:
-- Group of nodes to duplicate (mandatory): these nodes will be duplicated.
-- Group of elements to replace nodes with new ones (optional): the duplicated nodes
- will be associated with these elements.
-- Construct group with newly created nodes option (checked by default):
- if checked - the group with just created nodes will be built.
+- Group of nodes to duplicate (mandatory): these
+ nodes will be duplicated.
+- Group of elements to replace nodes with new ones
+ (optional): the new nodes will replace the duplicated nodes within these elements.
+- Construct group with newly created nodes option
+ (checked by default): if checked - the group with newly
+ created nodes will be built.
+A schema below illustrates how the crack is emulated using the node duplication.
+\image html crack_emulation_double_nodes.png "Crack emulation"
+This schema shows a virtual crack in a 2D mesh created using this duplication
+mode:
+- Black balls are duplicated nodes.
+- Red balls are new nodes.
+- Elements to replace nodes with new ones are marked with green.
+
+Note that in the reality duplicated nodes coincide with new nodes.
\anchor mode_with_elem_anchor
-With duplication of border elements
-In this mode the dialog looks like:
+
+Duplicate nodes and border elements

Parameters to be defined in this mode:
-- Group of elements to duplicate (mandatory): these elements will be duplicated.
-- Group of nodes at not to duplicate (optional): group of nodes at crack bottom
- which will not be duplicated.
-- Group of elements to replace nodes with new ones (mandatory): the duplicated nodes
- will be associated with these elements.
-- Construct group with newly created elements option (checked by default):
- if checked - the group of just created elements will be built.
-- Construct group with newly created nodes option (checked by default):
- if checked - the group of just created nodes will be built.
+- Group of elements to duplicate (mandatory): these
+ elements will be duplicated.
+- Group of nodes not to duplicate (optional):
+ group of nodes at crack bottom which will not be duplicated.
+- Group of elements to replace nodes with new ones
+ (mandatory): the new nodes will replace the nodes to
+ duplicate within these elements.
+- Construct group with newly created elements option
+ (checked by default): if checked - the group of newly created
+ elements will be built.
+- Construct group with newly created nodes option
+ (checked by default): if checked - the group of newly

+A schema below explains the crack emulation using the node duplication
+with border elements.
+\image html crack_emulation_double_nodes_with_elems.png "Crack emulation"
+This schema shows a virtual crack in a 2D mesh created using this duplication
+mode. In this schema:
+- Black segments are duplicated elements (edges in 2D case).
+- Black balls (except for the lowest one) are duplicated nodes of duplicated elements.
+- The lowest black ball is the non-duplicated node.
+- Red balls are newly created nodes.
+- Red segments are created elements (edges).
+- Elements to replace nodes with new ones are marked with green.
+
+Note that in the reality nodes to duplicate coincide with new nodes.
+
+In a 3D case, where elements to duplicate are faces, the edges
+located at the "crack" (if any) are cloned automatically.
+
+
+\anchor mode_elem_only_anchor
+Duplicate elements only
+
+This mode duplicates the given elements, i.e. creates new elements with the same nodes as the given elements.
+
+
+\image html duplicate03.png
+
+Parameters to be defined in this mode:
+
+ - Group of elements to duplicate (mandatory): these
+ elements will be duplicated.
+ - Construct group with newly created elements option
+ (checked by default): if checked - the group of newly created
+ elements will be built. The name of the created group starts from
+ "DoubleElements".
+
+\anchor mode_group_boundary_anchor
+Duplicate nodes on group boundaries
+
+This mode duplicates nodes located on boundaries between given groups of volumes.
+
+
+
+\image html duplicate04.png
+
+Parameters to be defined in this mode:
+
+ - Groups (faces or volumes) (mandatory): list of mesh
+ groups. These groups should be disjoint, i.e. should not have shared
+ elements.
+ - If Create joint elements option is activated, flat
+ elements are created on the duplicated nodes: a triangular facet
+ shared by two volumes of two groups generates a flat prism, a
+ quadrangular facet generates a flat hexahedron.
+ Correspondingly 2D joint elements (null area faces) are generated
+ where edges are shared by two faces.
+
+ The created flat volumes (or faces) are stored in groups. These groups are named
+ according to the position of the group in the list of groups: group
+ "j_n_p" is a group of flat elements that are built between the group \#n
+ and the group \#p in the group list. All flat elements are gathered
+ into the group named "joints3D" (correspondingly "joints2D"). The flat elements of multiple
+ junctions between the simple junction are stored in a group named
+ "jointsMultiples".
+ - If On all boundaries option is activated, the volumes (or faces),
+ which are not included into Groups input, are considered
+ as another group and thus the nodes on the boundary
+ between Groups and the remaining mesh are also
+ duplicated.
