Function Documentation

ex_put_elem_num_map()

int ex_put_elem_num_map	(	int	exoid,
		const void_int *	elem_map )

Deprecated

Use ex_put_id_map()(exoid, EX_ELEM_MAP, elem_map)

The function ex_put_elem_num_map() writes out the optional element number map to the database. See Section LocalElementIds for a description of the element number map. The function ex_put_init() must be invoked before this call is made.

Returns

In case of an error, ex_put_elem_num_map() returns a negative number; a warning will return a positive number. Possible causes of errors include:

• data file not properly opened with call to ex_create() or ex_open()
• data file opened for read only.
• data file not initialized properly with call to ex_put_init().
• an element number map already exists in the file.

Parameters

[in]	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[in]	elem_map	The element number map.

The following code generates a default element number map and outputs it to an open exodus file. This is a trivial case and included just for illustration. Since this map is optional, it should be written out only if it contains something other than the default map.

int error, exoid;
int *elem_map = (int *)calloc(num_elem, sizeof(int));
 
for (i=1; i <= num_elem; i++)
   elem_map[i-1] = i;
 
error = ex_put_elem_num_map(exoid, elem_map);
 
\comment{Equivalent using non-deprecated function}
error = ex_put_id_map(exoid, EX_ELEM_MAP, elem_map);
