This simulation uses MOOSE combined app
The cubit journal file creates pelletonly4.e This mesh with a nodeset in the center to remove rotations. modify the file to refine the mesh
The dummy edge crack exodus file make_edge_crack_in.e that is needed by the xfem mesh cutter is created by running combined-opt -i make_edge_crack.i --mesh-only
The simulation is now ready to run: combined-opt -i xfem_crack_pelletonly.i
