How can a create 2D contacts?
Mesh generation and data (boundary conditions, materials, etc)
Is it possible to extract information about boundary edges and faces?
Do you have any plans to allow geometric information to be incorporated into the customization files, so that mesh optimisation can be coupled to the solver?
