Member Function Documentation

bool FEElement_::IsExterior

(

)

Is this an exterior element.

Is this an exterior element (i.e. an element that is on the outside of the mesh). shells and beams are alwasy exterior. Solids are exterior if they have at least one null neighbor.

Definition at line 392 of file FEElement.cpp.

{
     if (!IsSolid()) return true;
     int n = Faces();
     for (int i=0; i<n; ++i) if (m_nbr[i] < 0) return true;
     return false;

Todo:

maybe I can add an element attribute section
