thickenabs{

move a given part of the geometry by an absolute value of distance

EXPERIMENTAL only. Thicken the geometry by moving the node points of the defined geometry parts.

thickeningDistance = the distance the boundary elements have to be moved is absolutely given by \( D_i = \text{thickeningDistance}\) (no relative movement!!!!) N_ThickeningLoops = the moving of the distance \( D_i\) is subdivided into N_ThickeningLoops steps.
