 ! is a list of the neighborhood of each IP.

 ! Positive integers denote an intra-FE IP identifier.

 ! *** FE_subNodeOnIPFace ***
 ! indicates which subnodes make up the interfaces enclosing the IP volume.
 ! The sorting convention is such that the outward pointing normal
 ! follows from a right-handed traversal of the face node list.
 ! For two-dimensional elements, which only have lines as "interface"
 ! one nevertheless has to specify each interface by a closed path,
 ! e.g., 1,2, 2,1, assuming the line connects nodes 1 and 2.
 ! This will result in zero ipVolume and interfaceArea, but is not
 ! detrimental at the moment since non-local constitutive laws are
 ! currently not foreseen in 2D cases.
