Comments

  1. This interface is not compatible when the Lagrangian master surface is in a rigid body.
  2. The Lagrangian surface normals do not need to be oriented in a specific direction.
  3. A small gap (positive or negative) can exist between the ALE slave surface nodes and the Lagrangian master the surface.
