This realization creates hexa elements between shell and/or solid elements in order
to connect them using a contact definition.
The hexa element nodes will project and touch the shell and/or solid element faces.
During the realization, a contact and referencing main and secondary sets are
created; unless defined differently, the hexas are assigned a default property and
material, and are organized into a component with the same name base as the
property.Figure 1. Hexa (Contact) Realization Example
