Traction boundary condition for a particular facet on a boundary

0 votes

I am solving a linear elasticity problem with CG. I am actually performing an optimization problem where I would be solving the same problem with different traction boundary condition. At each iteration I add a traction force at the place of my selection on the surface mesh. I would like to know two things:

1) How to select the boundary faces where the dof of vertices show deformation > some value ?
2) How to apply traction force at that place ?
