Face

Represents a face (codimension-1 element) in a mesh.

class Face;

Faces are polytopes of dimension where is the mesh dimension:

Faces are crucial for:

Direct inheritance by class family

Face(Index index, const MeshBase& mesh): Constructs a face with given index.
Face(const Face& other): Copy constructor.
Face(Face&& other): Move constructor.

auto isBoundary() const -> bool: Checks if this face is on the mesh boundary.
auto isInterface() const -> bool: Checks if this face is an interface between regions.

Constructs a face with given index.

Parameters
index in	Index of the face in the mesh
mesh in	Reference to the containing mesh

Copy constructor.

Parameters
other	Object to copy from.

Move constructor.

Parameters
other	Object to move from.

Checks if this face is on the mesh boundary.

Returns	True if the face is a boundary face, false otherwise

A face is on the boundary if it belongs to only one cell.

Checks if this face is an interface between regions.

Returns	True if the face separates different material regions

An interface face connects cells with different attributes.
