Functions

int ex_get_map (int exoid, void_int *elem_map)

Function Documentation

int ex_get_map ( int  exoid,
void_int elem_map 
)
Deprecated:
Use ex_get_num_map() instead.

The function ex_get_map() reads the element order map from the database. See #ElementOrderMap for a description of the element order map. If an element order map is not stored in the data file, a default array (1,2,3,. .. num_elem) is returned. Memory must be allocated for the element map array ({num_elem} in length) before this call is made.

Returns:
In case of an error, ex_get_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()
  • if an element order map is not stored, a default map and a warning value are returned.
Parameters:
[in]exoidexodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[out]elem_mapReturned element order map.

The following code will read an element order map from an open exodus file :

int *elem_map, error, exoid;

\comment{read element order map}
elem_map = (int *)calloc(num_elem, sizeof(int));

error = ex_get_map(exoid, elem_map);
