This command tests all edges of all boundary faces for negative coupling coefficients. It adds three attributes to the mesh object:
num_neg_coup_coeff is the number of negative coupling coefficients
neg_coup_coeff is the value of coupling coefficients (type VDOUBLE length = num_neg_coup_coeff )
ietet_aij is a vector with length = num_neg_coup_coeff. for each negative coupling coefficient:
i: ietet_aij(1,i) contains the tetrahedron number which contributes the most negative portion to the coupling coefficient
ietet_aij(2,i) contains the local face number that contains the local edge
(ietet_aij(3,i)) which has the negative coupling coefficient.

The attributes num_neg_coup_coeff, neg_coup_coeff, and ietet_aij can be used to generate a set of points to be added to
the mesh in an attempt to reduce the number of negative coupling coefficients by using the refine option. The points added are created by
projecting the fourth node of the tetrahedron onto the identified face and then projecting this projection onto the identified edge. If the
final projected point lies between the end points of the identified edge, this edge is refined. The identification and refinement steps may
be iterated up to maxiter times. Alternatively the attribute may be used to create an eltset of the identified elements.
The rivara option uses a rivara refinement method to add nodes on exterior boundary edges until all coupling coefficients are positive or until a maximum number of iterations has been exceeded.
negative_aij
negative_aij/refine
for both examples, only one iteration will be performed
negative_aij/refine/ 5
a maximum of 5 iterations will be performed
negative_aij/eltset/ bad_tets
an element set called bad_tets will be created, no refinement will be performed
negative_aij/rivara
refinement method to add nodes on exterior boundary edges
