force_element_edge index force_0 force_1 ...

Distributed edge source terms (force terms per unit length in 2D or per unit area in 3D). These distributed terms are translated into equivalent nodal force terms on the edges of elements. In 1D this option is not available. In 2D this option is available for all elements. In 3D this option is only available for linear elements. You should specify a force term for each primary unknown. Also the record force_element_edge_geometry should be specified, and optionally the record force_element_edge_time can be specified.
