Hi, i wanted to know if the surfaces and the volume are related? Which mean that their nodes are linked to each other. Other than that, how do i know which one is the first node for each tetrahedral elements. Lastly, what are the properties of edgesegments?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think surfaces are outter facets of tetra. For example, one tetra has 4 facets, if a facet is also the facet of another tetra, then it is a inner facet and don't belong to surafces. You can get surfaces by analyzing volume data by yourself, instead of using surfaces data directly.
A tetra has 4 nodes, every 3 nodes represent a facet, and the node sequence makes no sense, so you don't need to kown which is the first node. Similarly edges of tetra also make no sense.
