C++ Type:BoundaryName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The boundary on the other side of a gap.
- paired_variableThe variable to get the value of.
C++ Type:VariableName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No

GapValueAux
Return the nearest value of a variable on a boundary from across a gap.
This object is typically used in mechanical contact problems to get information about the variable on the other side of the boundary.
See GeometricSearchData for more information on the treatment of contact problems.
Example syntax
In this example, the GapValueAux is used to retrieve the value of variable u on boundary rightleft across from boundary leftright.
