*Embedded region will be available with the upcoming release

Use this option to define embedded element behaviour by constraining or coupling them to a host continuum. This is useful for modelling inclusions, reinforcements, or other structures placed inside host elements.

The <method> keyword specifies how the embedded elements interact with the host. Currently supported <method> values are:

  • Absorbed – embedded elements follow the host deformation and do not contribute to the system stiffness.
