function [newnode,newelem]=elemfacecenter(node,elem)
%
% [newnode,newelem]=elemfacecenter(node,elem)
%
% generate barycentric dual-mesh face center nodes and indices per element
% very similar to highordertet which finds edge-centers instead of
% face-centers

% author: Qianqian Fang, <q.fang at neu.edu>
%
% input:
%    node: list of nodes
%    elem: list of elements (each row are indices of nodes of each element)
%
% output:
%    newnode: all new face-nodes on the output mesh
%    newelem: the indices of the face nodes for each original tet element
%
%    to combine the newnode/newelem with the old mesh, one should use
%
%    elemfull=[elem(:,1:4) newelem+size(node,1)];
%    nodefull=[node;newnode];
