Raw energy data comparison from FLagSHyP Modified verification tests. A solid element is compared with an identical model with the addition of an embedded element. The embedded element was assigned the same material properties as the host element so that the system equivalent behavior should be the same as the solid element model. The volume redundancy in the embedded element method causes increases in internal energy, stiffness, and kinetic energy. The correction method shown is able to remove this extra energy and returns the same results as a solid cube
