cohesive
''''''''

In ``cohesive/plate.py``, an example of extrinsic cohesive elements insertion is shown. This example simulates a plate
with a pre-existing crack pulled. The geometry is depicted in :numref:`fig-ex-cohesive_plate`.

Problem geometry.

The problem is solved statically until the onset of instability and is then solved dynamically with an explicit
integration scheme. This is done by adding a new solver with ``model.initNewSolver()``::
model = aka.SolidMechanicsModelCohesive(mesh)
model.initFull(_analysis_method=aka._static, _is_extrinsic=True)
model.initNewSolver(aka._explicit_lumped_mass)
[....]
model.solveStep("static")
[....]
model.solveStep("explicit_lumped")

The crack opening is displayed in :numref:`fig-ex-cohesive_plate_gif`.
