testElementNodeOrder()

bool MeshLib::CellRule::testElementNodeOrder ( Element const & e )

static

Checks if the node order of an element is correct by testing surface normals. For 3D elements true is returned if the normals of all faces points away from the centre of the element. Note: This method might give wrong results if something else is wrong with the element (non-planar faces, non-convex geometry, possibly zero volume) which causes the calculated center of gravity to lie outside of the actual element

        // test at some point, while for node 0 at least one node in every
        // element type would be used for checking twice and one wouldn't be
        // checked at all. (based on the definition of the _face_nodes variable)
