Face: definition (structure)
Definition
A face is defined by:
- a number
- a type
- specific characteristics belonging to a type

Number
The number to identify the face is automatically allocated by Flux during the face construction.
Types of faces
The different types of faces and the characteristics useful for their description are gathered in the tables below:
