Description
Class which defines a surface for a mesh FEA elements.
The contact surface is a collection of pointers to ChLoadableUV objects, which can be shells in the mesh or proxies to faces of solid elements (such as ChTetrahedronFace or ChHexahedronFace).

Member Function Documentation
◆ AddFace()
|
inlinevirtual |
Add a single mesh face.
Note that this function does not check for double insertion of the same face.
◆ AddFacesFromBoundary()
|
virtual |
Find faces on the outer boundary of a solid mesh.
Scan all the finite elements already added in the parent ChMesh and add the faces that are not shared.
◆ AddFacesFromNodeSet()
|
virtual |
Add multiple faces of FEM elements given a set of nodes at vertexes.
Scan all the finite elements already added in the parent ChMesh, and check if any has a face whose vertexes are all in the given node set; if so, add it to this mesh surface, with these rules:
- surface elements inherited from ChLoadableUV: the element is added
- face of ChElementTetrahedron : a ChTetrahedronFace proxy is created and added
- face of ChElementHexahedron : a ChHexahedronFace proxy is created and added
