Description

ExpandByElements is used as the criterion parameter of OOF.NodeSelection.Expand_Node_Selection.

When a Skeleton contains quadrilateral Elements, ExpandByElements may select more Nodes than its colleague ExpandBySegments will. See OOF.NodeSelection.Expand_Node_Selection for an illustration.
