The function ex_get_prop_array() reads an array of integer property values for all element blocks, node sets, or side sets. The order of the values in the array correspond to the order in which the element blocks, node sets, or side sets were introduced into the file. Before this function is invoked, memory must be allocated for the returned array of(num_elem_blk
, num_node_sets
, or {num_side_sets}) integer values.
This function can be used in place of
