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

- 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.
