## Function Documentation

## ◆ ex_get_node_set_dist_fact()

int ex_get_node_set_dist_fact | ( | int | exoid,
|  | ex_entity_id | node_set_id,
|  | void * | node_set_dist_fact
| ) |  |

Deprecated:
  Use ex_get_set_dist_fact()(exoid, EX_NODE_SET, node_set_id, node_set_dist_fact)

The function ex_get_node_set_dist_fact() returns the node set distribution factors for a single node set. Memory must be allocated for the list of distribution factors(num_dist_in_set in length) before this function is invoked.

Because the distribution factors are floating point values, the application code must declare the array passed to be the appropriate type (float or double) to match the compute word size passed in ex_create() or ex_open().

Returns
  In case of an error, ex_get_node_set_dist_fact() returns a negative number; a warning will return a positive number. Possible causes of errors include:
  - a warning value is returned if no distribution factors were stored.

Parameters

  [in] | exoid | exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
  [in] | node_set_id | The node set ID.
  [out] | node_set_dist_fact | Returned array containing the distribution factors in the node set.

Refer to the description of ex_get_node_set_param() for a sample code segment to read a node set's distribution factors.
