3.3 Entity Inquiry

int FEM_Mesh_get_width(int mesh,int entity,int attr);
INTEGER function :: FEM_Mesh_get_width(mesh,entity,attr)
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: mesh,entity,attr

Return the width of the attribute attr of entity of mesh. This is the value previously passed as ``width'' to FEM_Mesh_data.

int FEM_Mesh_get_datatype(int mesh,int entity,int attr);
INTEGER function :: FEM_Mesh_get_datatype(mesh,entity,attr)
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: mesh,entity,attr

Return the FEM data type of the attribute attr of entity of mesh. This is the value previously passed as ``datatype'' to FEM_Mesh_data.

int FEM_Mesh_get_entities(int mesh,int *entities);
INTEGER function :: FEM_Mesh_get_entities(mesh,entities)
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: mesh
INTEGER, INTENT(OUT) :: entities(:)

Extract an array of the different entities present in this mesh. Returns the number of entity types present. The entities array must be big enough to hold all the different entities in the mesh.

For example, a simple mesh might have two entity types: FEM_NODE and FEM_ELEM+1.

int FEM_Mesh_get_attributes(int mesh,int entity,int *attributes);
INTEGER function :: FEM_Mesh_get_attributes(mesh,entity,attributes)
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: mesh, entity
INTEGER, INTENT(OUT) :: attributes(:)

Extract an array of the different attributes of this entity. Returns the number of attribute types present. The attributes array must be big enough to hold all the attributes.

For example, a simple element might have three attributes: FEM_CONN for node connectivity, FEM_GLOBALNO for global element numbers, and FEM_DATA+7 for a material type.

const char *FEM_Get_entity_name(int entity,char *storage);
const char *FEM_Get_attr_name(int attr,char *storage);
const char *FEM_Get_datatype_name(int datatype,char *storage);

Return a human-readable name for this FEM entity, attribute, or datatype. The storage array must point to a buffer of at least 100 characters; this array might be used as temporary space to store the returned string.

These routines are only available in C.
