InterfaceMeshCut2DUserObject

A userobject to cut a 2D mesh using a 1D cutter mesh.

Overview

The InterfaceMeshCut2DUserObject is used to cut the 2D mesh with a 1D cutter mesh. The element type of the 1D cutter mesh must be EDGE2. The nodes on the cutter mesh move at a velocity that is given by a function or XFEMMovingInterfaceVelocity UserObject.
