Hello all,<div><br></div><div>I'd like to create a mesh with an edge crack as shown in Figure (b), but I'm not sure how to do it with gmsh. I tried subtracting the edge crack volume from the beam volume as subtracting an internal volume from the outer volume, but it didn't work. I checked gmsh tutorials and demos and couldn't find a similar one. I'd appreciate if someone suggest me a right approach to model a beam geometry with an edge crack.</div>
