%
% input:
%   node: a list of node coordinates (nn x 3)
%   face: a surface mesh triangle list (ne x 3)
%   opt: a list of optional parameters, currently surfacenorm supports:
%        'Normalize': [1|0] if set to 1, the normal vectors will be 
%                           unitary (default)
%
% output:
%   snorm: output surface normal vector at each face
