The non-intrusive coupling method [1] is a local analysis method that aims to separate the macroscopic and local scales both from mesh, operator, and loading viewpoints. This method has demonstrated that it can be used for a large set of problems such as those with local plasticity, and it has been implemented in an industrial code. In order to reduce the complexity of a given problem, a coarse model is defined on the total domain with its properties (geometry, connectivity, operator, solver) and a separated fine model is set locally with its different properties. The solution is obtained iteratively by exchanging data on the interface between the global and local models.
