**insert_discont#
Description#
This command quickly duplicates nodes of a bset to create a discontinuity. If an nset is given those nodes will not be duplicates in order to represent a 3D crack front for instance.
Resulting output contains an odd number of nset named side0, side1, side2, side3, etc. linked to each pair of sides of the discontinuity (a pair is built for each discontinuous zone of the given bset).
Only for 3D meshes.
