I have a mesh with a single patch named outerBoundary. I want to move the nodes that are on this patch. To determine in which direction to move a given node p, I want to average the normal vectors of the patch faces that have node p in common. This means I need an outer loop for looping over the nodes on the patch and an inner loop to loop over the faces that connect to a given node.

I can get a lot of mesh connectivity information using the code from here, but the information I am still missing is

1) how to determine the labels of nodes that are on a given patch and
2) how to determine for an arbitrary face if the face is a patch face or an internal face.

How can I get this information?

Hi,


1. Take a look at this thread:
How to access to faces of a patch
and this:

Loop over Points of a boundary / patch


2. Try:

mesh.isInternalFace(yourFaceID);

which will return true if given face is internal
