-Since revision 3593 boundaries elements have been refactored to reduce code duplication using Material classes (see [[https://gitlab.uliege.be/am-dept/MN2L/oo_meta/-/merge_requests/167|MR !167]] for technical informations). So the documentation is "nearly duplicated" between version > or < 3593.+This Documentation refers to Metafor version >= 3593.

 Pressure and shear boundary conditions can be applied using special finite elements defined on the boundary of the mesh. The geometry of these elements are lines in 2D corresponding to the boundary edges of the elements of the 2D mesh. Pressure and shear boundary conditions can be applied using special finite elements defined on the boundary of the mesh. The geometry of these elements are lines in 2D corresponding to the boundary edges of the elements of the 2D mesh.
 In 3D, pressure elements are triangles or quads, depending of the shape of the facets of the elements of the mesh near the boundary. In 3D, pressure elements are triangles or quads, depending of the shape of the facets of the elements of the mesh near the boundary.
