.. _over_constrained_faces_page: ********************** Over-constrained faces ********************** This mesh quality control highlights faces sharing only one border with other faces. In other words, the faces having all their nodes on the free border of the 2D mesh are highlighted. .. note:: The highlighted faces are actually over-constrained only if, at the computation time, the boundary conditions on the borders where the nodes are located are all Dirichlet boundary conditions. .. image:: ../images/over_constrained_faces.png :align: center .. centered:: Over-constrained face is displayed in red **See Also** a sample TUI Script of a :ref:`tui_over_constrained_faces` filter.
