◆ CalculateUnitBoundaryNormals()

void Kratos::BoundaryNormalsCalculationUtilities::CalculateUnitBoundaryNormals	(	ModelPart &	rModelPart,
		int	EchoLevel = `0`
	)

inline

Calculates the area normal (vector oriented as the normal with a dimension proportional to the area).

This is done on the base of the Conditions provided which should be understood as the surface elements of the area of interest.

Parameters

rModelPart	ModelPart of the problem. Must have a set of conditions defining the "skin" of the domain
dimension	Spatial dimension (2 or 3)

Note: Use this fuction instead of its overload taking a Conditions array for MPI applications, as it will take care of communication between partitions. Calculates the area normal (unitary vector oriented as the normal).

◆ CalculateWeightedBoundaryNormals()

void Kratos::BoundaryNormalsCalculationUtilities::CalculateWeightedBoundaryNormals	(	ModelPart &	rModelPart,
		int	EchoLevel = `0`
	)
