Yeah, important for shell elements too. Consider a plate welded perpendicularly
to another plate. Could you model that as quads where you have an element
coming out of the page? So an edge is connected to three elements?
Find neighbors will fail, but as will the entire notion of one neighbor pe

The motivation is 1D structural dynamics (like truss and beam elements).
I know that fi
