This article introduces a new and general construction of discrete Hodge operator in the context of Discrete Exterior Calculus (DEC). This discrete Hodge operator enables to circumvent the well-centeredness limitation on the mesh with the popular diagonal Hodge. It allows a dual mesh based on any interior point, such as the incenter or the barycenter. It opens the way towards mesh-optimized discrete

Dynamic substructuring (DS) methods encompass a range of techniques to decompose large structural systems into multiple coupled subsystems. This decomposition has the principle benefit of reducing computational time for dynamic simulation of the system. In this context, DS methods may form an essential component of hybrid simulation, wherein they can be used to couple physical and numerical substructures
