is the cohesive zone model (or XFEM and similar advanced methods) used in the industry applications or is it of purely scientific value (for now at least).

i am aware that you need huge computational resources, but then again you don't need to simulate the entire model (just points of interest) using that (and voronoi) approach. or you can just increase the size of the grains, depending on the application.
 
for fracture mechanics at least
i think they're used in the composite materials world too.

as i understand, it is used in the composite materials simulations, right? but metals?
 
in composite industry, it is used for sure.
