OOF2: The Manual
Name
SegmentSide — The side of an element edge on which output data should be computed.
Description
SegmentSide
selects the left or right side of
an Element
Segment
when evaluating Outputs
on a
SkeletonEdgeBoundaryDomain.
When evaluating an Output
along
a Segment
separating two Elements
, the result may depend upon whether
the evaluation point is considered to be in one Element
or the other,
because Fields
and Fluxes
may be discontinuous at the boundary.
Skeleton
edge
boundaries are directed, having a beginning and an end, so
it's possible to specify which Element
to use for the evaluation by
choosing the one on the left or right side of the boundary.
“Left” means “On the left if you were on the
boundary and facing towards its end.”
If a boundary is external and only has an Element
on one side, that
element will be used regardless of the
SegmentSide
selected.
