Popis: In the paper, a generalized essential boundary condition sensitivity analysis based implementation of $$\text {FE}^2$$FE2 and mesh-in-element (MIEL) multi-scale methods is derived as an alternative to standard implementations of multi-scale analysis, where the calculation of Schur complement of the microscopic tangent matrix is needed for bridging the scales. The paper presents a unified approach to the development of an arbitrary MIEL or $$\text {FE}^2$$FE2 computational scheme for an arbitrary path-dependent material model. Implementation is based on efficient first and second order analytical sensitivity analysis, for which automatic-differentiation-based formulation of essential boundary condition sensitivity analysis is derived. A fully consistently linearized two-level path-following algorithm is introduced as a solution algorithm for the multi-scale modeling. Sensitivity analysis allows each macro step to be followed by an arbitrary number of micro substeps while retaining quadratic convergence of the overall solution algorithm.
