I would like to add support for Exodus's SHELL elements to libMesh, e.g.
TRISHELL3 and SHELL4. See the attached figure from the Exodus standard for
a picture of a SHELL4 element.
As you can see from the figure, the only difference here is that this
element has sidesets associated with the 2D faces

This all sounds fine, but I admit I'm curious about where you need this as
opposed to just using the element normal (not elem.normal()) to use in
applying the loads. I don't doubt that you do, but I haven't run into a
