I intend to use gmsh for mesh generation in some contact mechanics modeling. For that purpose I wrote a script which builds an extruded mesh of hexas for my geometry. My problem is that the solver I use, needs the information about groups of volume elements which are expected to take part in the contact phenomenon. I would like to define a group of hexa elements which have at least one node laying on a specific surface of my model.
The same objective for quad-elements would be very trivial through the definition of a Physical Surface, where they should lay on. In case of volume elements though, how could I group those which are adjacent to this specific surface? Thank you in advance. Kostas P.S. Is there anyone with experience in contact models using gmsh? I would be thankful for any tip or link with examples.
