Evaluating Surface Traction Forces on Interior Boundaries
The boundary flux based tractions are computed not only on exterior boundaries, but also on interior boundaries.
On interior boundaries, there are two traction fields: One acting on each of the domains sharing the boundary.
These internal traction fields are contained in the variables interface.iTracux and interface.iTracdx. The letters u and d in the variable names indicate the upside and downside of the boundary, respectively. If you need the value of the total force acting on an internal section through your model, these variables can be integrated in the material frame.
The interface.iTracux and interface.iTracdx variables are computed with higher accuracy when the Compute boundary fluxes checkbox is selected in the Discretization section of the physics interface.
