Element's faces

Element's faces

Element's faces

(OP)
Hi, I wonder how Abaqus marks element's faces in inp files. I found "Node ordering and face numbering on elements" in 'Abaqus Analysis user's Manual vol 4' but I need to know which face is which. I am working with 8 nodal elements and writing my own software which read Abaqus inp file and I need information on which part of element there are boundary conditions (heat flux for example).


Sorry for my poor English.

RE: Element's faces

Hi,
 all the info is in the manual. Face "1" is defined by the four nodes 1, 2, 3, 4 on an eight node brick. Face "2" by nodes 5,6,7,8.
