% The function takes a nodal connectivity list
% formed from a triangulation of a domain by triangles or tetrahedrons
% , for example using the built-in 'delaunay()' of Matlab.
% The function returns a matrix 'dtri' with the nodal
% connectivity list of the boundary triangulation consisting of the face triangles
% as given by 'dtri'.
% NOTE: The algorithm does not support any other mesh than those filled with linear triangles or tetrahedrons.

Version Published Release Notes
1.0.0.4

Added support for domains filled with (2D) triangles. In addition, functions for computing volumes, areas and line segments using the nodal connectivity list and point cloud, are provided.

1.0.0.3

Changed title.

1.0.0.2

The previous version had a quite large runtime complexity. This version uses roughly 218, 38 and 3 seconds respectively, finding the boundary of a mesh filled with respectively 3077, 1296 and 384 tetrahedrons on a standard laptop.
