The Arlequin method offers an alternative framework for the multimodel mechanical simulations. This paper aims at showing the promising potentialities of this approach to introduce defects in a sound model with great flexibility. The formulations and the related theoretical results are recalled and the key points for numerical implementation are discussed. Numerical examples illustrate their efficiency.
