GetElemNum

Inheritence

This method is inherited from the AbstractMesh class.

GetElemNum

The GetElemNum method retrieves the element numbers (global or local) present in the mesh. It can return either all element numbers or those belonging to a specific mesh ID.

Interface

INTERFACE
  MODULE FUNCTION GetElemNum1(obj, islocal) RESULT(ans)
    CLASS(AbstractMesh_), INTENT(IN) :: obj
    LOGICAL(LGT), OPTIONAL, INTENT(IN) :: islocal
    INTEGER(I4B), ALLOCATABLE :: ans(:)
  END FUNCTION GetElemNum1
END INTERFACE

INTERFACE
  MODULE FUNCTION GetElemNum2(obj, meshid, islocal) RESULT(ans)
    CLASS(AbstractMesh_), INTENT(IN) :: obj
    INTEGER(I4B), INTENT(IN) :: meshid
    LOGICAL(LGT), OPTIONAL, INTENT(IN) :: islocal
    INTEGER(I4B), ALLOCATABLE :: ans(:)
  END FUNCTION GetElemNum2
END INTERFACE

Syntax

! Get all element numbers
elemNumbers = mesh%GetElemNum([islocal])

! Get element numbers for a specific mesh ID
elemNumbers = mesh%GetElemNum(meshid, [islocal])

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Intent	Description
obj	CLASS(AbstractMesh_)	IN	The mesh object
islocal	LOGICAL(LGT)	IN (optional)	If true, return local element numbers instead of global
meshid	INTEGER(I4B)	IN	Mesh ID to filter elements by

Return Value

Type	Description
INTEGER(I4B), ALLOCATABLE(:)	Array of element numbers

Description

GetElemNum returns an array of element numbers present in the mesh. The method has two versions:

1. Return all element numbers in the mesh
2. Return only element numbers that belong to a specific mesh ID

The islocal parameter determines whether the returned numbers are global (default) or local element numbers.

Example Usage

TYPE(Mesh_) :: mesh
INTEGER(I4B), ALLOCATABLE :: allElements(:), subdomainElements(:)

! Initialize mesh...

! Get all element numbers
allElements = mesh%GetElemNum()

! Get element numbers for a specific subdomain
subdomainElements = mesh%GetElemNum(meshid=2)

PRINT *, "Total elements:", SIZE(allElements)
PRINT *, "Subdomain elements:", SIZE(subdomainElements)
