interface.node.penetration

Syntax

f := interface.node.penetration(in)

Note

  • In the description below, the following correspondence is assumed between 3D and 2D analysis:

    • 3D zone faces (surfaces) <-> 2D zone edges (lines)

Get interface node penetration with the contacting zone face (only valid after cycling). A value ≤ 0 is returned if there is no contact.

Returns:

f - value of penetration

Arguments:

in - interface node pointer
