ex_get_init()

int ex_get_init	(	int	exoid,
		char *	title,
		void_int *	num_dim,
		void_int *	num_nodes,
		void_int *	num_elem,
		void_int *	num_elem_blk,
		void_int *	num_node_sets,
		void_int *	num_side_sets
	)

The function ex_get_init() reads the initializationinitialization parameters from an opened exodus file.

Returns

In case of an error, ex_get_init() 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().

Parameters

	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[out]	title	Returned database title. String length may be up to MAX_LINE_LENGTH bytes.
[out]	num_dim	Returned dimensionality of the database. This is the number of coordinates per node.
[out]	num_nodes	Returned number of nodal points.
[out]	num_elem	Returned number of elements
[out]	num_elem_blk	Returned number of element blocks
[out]	num_node_sets	Returned number of node sets
[out]	num_side_sets	Returned number of side sets

The following code segment will read the initialization parameters from the open exodus file:

int num_dim, num_nodes, num_elem, num_elem_blk,
    num_node_sets, num_side_sets, error, exoid;

char title[MAX_LINE_LENGTH+1];

/* read database parameters */
error = ex_get_init (exoid, title, &num_dim, &num_nodes,
                     &num_elem, &num_elem_blk, &num_node_sets, &num_side_sets);
