Abstract
The subject paper purportedly proposes a novel enriched finite element method for modeling problems with strong discontinuities such as those encountered in fracture mechanics. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that the method in the subject paper (Non-nodal eXtended Finite Element Method, NXFEM) is conceptually identical to the Discontinuity-Enriched Finite Element Method (DE-FEM) [Int. J. Numer. Meth. Eng. 2017; 112:1589–1613] proposed by Aragón and Simone.
