Function Documentation

ex_get_map()

int ex_get_map	(	int	exoid,
		void_int *	elem_map
	)

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]	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[out]	elem_map	Returned element order map.

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

int *elem_map, error, exoid;

/* read element order map */
elem_map = (int *)calloc(num_elem, sizeof(int));

error = ex_get_map(exoid, elem_map);
