element mark
The ID of the mark containing the solid elements.
node mark
The ID of the mark containing nodes that define the face of a solid element.
break angle
The angle used to define a "sharp corner".

Example

HyperMesh will use the node mark to find the face of a solid element. All adjacent faces will then be found until a sharp corner (defined by a break angle) is found. Finally, master/slave elements will be created on these faces.
