Element's faces

[ChrisBz]

Hi, I wonder how Abaqus marks element's faces in inp files. I found "Node ordering and face numbering on elements" in 'Abaqus Analysis user's Manual vol 4' but I need to know which face is which. I am working with 8 nodal elements and writing my own software which read Abaqus inp file and I need information on which part of element there are boundary conditions (heat flux for example).


Sorry for my poor English.

Hi,
all the info is in the manual. Face "1" is defined by the four nodes 1, 2, 3, 4 on an eight node brick. Face "2" by nodes 5,6,7,8.
