Summary0002969: FEM, GUI, mesh VP, faces of all elements should be shown, not only the faces of the volume elements
DescriptionIf a FEM mesh has mixed meshed geometry for example meshed solids and meshed faces, only the faces of the volume elements are shown. The faces of the shell elements are missing.

See forum topic:

and related:
- in post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21233&start=10#p165575 is explained how to create such mesh
- might be interested in the regard of creating such meshes too ... https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=175915#p175895

Works but is more or less a hack. It needs some love before a merge could be done.

Edit: branch has moved see Note later in issue

At the moment it works as follows in Master 0.17.11160

If the mesh only has edges the edges and the nodes of the edges are shown
If the mesh has faces or/volumens the faces and the faces of the volumes are shown as well as the nodes of the faces and the nodes of the volumes are shown.
Means no lonley nodes.

It could work this way:

Show all Nodes, Edgeelements, Faceelements and Volumeelements.

This way we would have all nodes, all edges (including the edges of the facecreation and volumecreation), all faces (including the faces of volumecreation).

Add 3 Attributes to the ViewProvider to tongle on/off the elements
- edges of the mesh
- faces of the mesh
- faces of volumes the mesh

Add the two missing Display Modes to the MeshViewProvider:
- Nodes and Wireframe
- Nodes and Faces

updated the branch https://github.com/berndhahnebach/FreeCAD_bhb/commits/femvolumeshell

It shows all nodes, edges, faces, faces of volumes

But still it is some sort of a hack. It comments lots of code because it just iterates above all and shows it.

I'm not yet convinced to delete all this code. I need to have a closer look. Means the branch is usable to test mixed meshes but not ready to merge into master.

I may implement the two missing display modes. If I'm gone do this I need to digg into the MeshViewProvider and can fix the other too.
