Description

Creates interface elements on shell elements and faces of solid elements.

Inputs

name
The name of the group into which the interface elements should be placed.
main
Use 1 for main; 0 for secondary.
element_mark
The ID of the mark containing the solid elements.
node_mark
The ID of the mark containing nodes that define the face of a solid element.
break_angle
The angle used to define a "sharp corner".

Example

HyperMesh will use the node_mark to find the face of a solid element. All adjacent faces will then be found until a sharp corner (defined by break_angle) is found. Finally, main/secondary elements will be created on these faces.

Errors

None.
