- Deprecated
- Use ex_get_conn()(exoid, EX_ELEM_BLOCK, elem_blk_id, connect, 0, 0) instead
The function ex_get_elem_conn() reads the connectivity array for an element block. Memory must be allocated for the connectivity array (num_elem_this_blk * num_nodes_per_elem in length) before this routine is called.
- Returns
- In case of an error, ex_get_elem_conn() returns a negative number; a warning will return a positive number. Possible causes of errors include:
- an element block with the specified ID is not stored in the file.
- Parameters
-
[in] | exoid | exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open(). |
[in] | elem_blk_id | The element block ID. |
[out] | connect | Size [num_elem_this_blk,num_nodes_per_elem]. Returned connectivity array; a list of nodes (internal node IDs; See Section LocalNodeIds) that define each element. The node index cycles faster than the element index. |
Refer to the code example in ex_get_elem_block() for an example of reading the connectivity for an element block.
