Function Documentation

◆ ex_get_elem_conn()

int ex_get_elem_conn ( int exoid,
ex_entity_id elem_blk_id,
void_int * connect )
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]exoidexodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[in]elem_blk_idThe element block ID.
[out]connectSize [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.
